Mr . pally Enight , however , gave the finishing stroke to the Freebooters- He told them they had lost their good ^ jamefoT honesty j and that they had to Kame themselves , and their false speculations with America , for the Joss of their trade . He hoped , however , that the _» ie exposure and destruction of spurions goods in Paradise-square , would go forth to ihB world and regain for them their character , and with it their trade . Many more wholesome troths were told not very mnch to the palates of those " wot" would be lords and masters of this town .

The regulation will be instrumental in effecting much good .

She carries out abont 120 emigrants Of thrae there are fifty in the cabin , the others baing intermediate and steerage passengers ; } he latter being , as usual , poor agricultural labourers with iheir families , from the neighbouring counties . Owing to the harvest operations happily going on uninterruptedly in our own country , the number of steerage passengers per the Hendrik Hndson is far below the usual average . Among those in the intermediate berths are several young , industrious mechanics , who have been persuaded by their friends in the " far west" to leave the shores of England to improve their condition in America . The Hendrik Hudson takes ont nearly » full miscellaneous cargo of British manufactured goods .

      Fatal Mistake . —On Wednesday last , an Irishman named M'QniB , employed in working the stills at Douglas Bleachfield , swallowed a considerable quantity of vitriol from the jug used by Trim for supplying the retorts . Antidotes 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 the beverage slightly acidulated , which it is presumed in this instance led to the mistake . —Dublin Warder .

      xatai Quabbzl between B . EAP £ as . —On Wednesday week a fatal conflict occurred amongst a band of reapers , on the Grange Farm , at Lentwardiae , Aberjavenny . It appears that a trifling dispute arose between them , and being excited by liquor , blows ensued ; fortnnateJy , perhaps , it would have besn had this been the only result , at least it would have saved a rtii « ction on our national character—one of the party assaulted immediately defmded himself with his reaping hook , and the death of one of the combatantB terminated the affray , and anoiher reaper was so dreadfully wounded that be was obliged to be assisted home . A verdict of "Matislanshter" has been returned by a Coroner ' s Jury , against Thomas Turner , who was committed to take his trial at the ensuing assizes .

      ALellxcholt Death of the Daughter of "Vjc-TOit HrGO a 2 « t > heb Hrs » AND . — We find tbe following distressing account in the Journal du Havre of Tuesday : — " A sad event , which will fill wuh monming a family dear to literary France , Das this morning tfflicted our population . It is another instance of the danger of the navigation of Failing boats on rivers , and against which , in this case , the experience of an old captain was » of no avail . Yesterday , about noon , M . i * ierre Tdtqnerie , an old captain , and a merchant of Havre , wbo resided at Tillequier , at his properry , on the banks of the Seine , having business at Candebee , resolved to make this little trip by water , and being familiar with tbe navigation of the river , and the mode of handling boats ,

      he took with him in his boat , which had two Jug Bales , his young son , aged ten years—his nephew , M . C . Yacquerie— and the young wife of the latter , the daughter of M . "Victor Hui ; o , to whom be was not Ion * since married . The boat , which left Yillequier with the ebb tide , was met at about a quarter to one by the Petite Emma steamer , Capi . Dufasan , who , on losing sight ol her , went to "Villeqnier to take in a pilot . Hardly half an hour had elapsed when intelligence arrived that a boat had been upset on the opposite bank , called the Des d'Ane . Assistance was instantly despatched , but it arrived only in time to witness the irreparable misfortune that had taken place . The boat was taken aback , and the sheets were imprudently made fast . On her being righted ,

      there were found inside a cannon ball and a large stone , which bad been used as ballast , and the dead body of M . Pierre Vacquerie , with the head hanging over the ride . The three other persons bad disappeared . It was supposed at first that M . C Vacqnierre , being an excellent swimmer , had , whiisi endeavouring to save his wife and his relations , been carried further ; but , as nothing appeared on the surface of fee wat « r , a net was thrown in , and the ground dragged . The first time it was pulied up it contained tbe lifeless boty of the unfortunate lady , which was taken on shore , and placed on a bed . At the moment when Captain Durason , who has com municated these details to us , quitted the lamentable scene , the drag net had been again used , and it was

      presnmed , from the mai . eevering of the boats , that the bodies of the other two 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 Bet out immediately for Paris . M . Victor Hugo is travelling . It is believed that he is at La Rochelle . " Fatal Duix . —We have received the following from Baden Baden , dated the 2 nd instant : — " A heavy and painful sensation of gloom bas been cast over this otherwise gay and animated spot by a dnel , which took place this afternoon across the Wurtemburg frontier , between a young Russian ofBcer of the name of Veseikine , 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 sufSciem to warrant this refusal . This affair was warmly taken up by someyonng Russian here , who espoused the part of Al . Haber , considering him badly used . M . Ye > efkine put himself particularly Jsrward , and unfortunately vsvnt so faT as to . pnl np some abusive placards penned by Haber , rtflecting on the conduct of M . Gohler , who was detained by military dnty at CarJEmbe . He , how ever , obtained a conge , arrived here last night , and sought an interview with Yesetkine , who refused to

      fight unless Gohler first accepted the challenge of Habtr . M . G « hler , exasperated , threat ned to strike him , whereupon a dnel was fl ^ rt ed to ; not an ordinary * affair of honour / but a duel a mort , each to have two pistols , and the affair iiot to terminate cntil one was put hors de combat . The second of the Russian was a fellow-conntryman , and the oiher a Spaniard . They proceeded this morning to Carlsruhe , and crossed the frontier into Wurtvmbnrg . The principals weTe placed at twenty paces , to advance within ten . The first shot was fired by Yesefkine , which teok effect in tbe breast of his adversary , high up under tba collar-bone . Gohler returned the shot without tffect ; th ^ Russian then discharged his second pistol , missing hia adversary ,

      wb&se second pistol hang 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 loaded pistol , he fired , and YtEfcfMne receiving the ball threngb the arm into bis breast , feli dead without uttering a word . Had his adversary fallen , he was to have fought a * ecoud duel with M . Sarachaga , the second of Gohler . The latter was immediately transported to Carlsrnhe , where he lies in a most dangerous state . The bodj of Yesel kine was brought hither this evening by his second , who feas fled to France ; but it has smof been taken back to Rastadt . The conduct of the police in this a flair has been most culpable , and bafH- ^ 3 -conjecture , as they had cogn i zance of the placards , wrieb they toie down , and besides , a short time bark intirfered to prevent the same M .

      Yesefkine from risking his life alone va a ; balloon On which M . Hart at , ieri . naut , ascended , ) for a bet of 500 francs with an American gentleman . Yon can easily ronctive how this most jsad affair has ohecked all spirit of gaiety in this place , and cast a gloom over it which will not be dispelled this season . It is the secoiid duel within three weeks . M . Yesefkine was a young man of twenty-eight , tall , elegant , and brave ; he had served in the Circassian war with distinction . He is the last of four brothers , who have all met untimely ends . One was killed in a duel , a second in battle , * third by an accident , and now this last survivor has fallen to complete the number . He fought a duel here last year with M . de Sbin Bern . Tor the trnth of the foregoing details 1 can vouch , as I am acquainted with all the parties . '— Galionani .

We understand there were several additional witnesses , and amongst them was a soldier from Lincoln , named Adey , we believe ; but the examination , which lasted the whole of the day , being private , we are uuable to say what further evidence was adduced . A vast crowd surrounded the County-oflice the whole day . — Lincoln Mercury .

      The Ghost of a Regicide . —On Tuesday night last , about half-past eleven o ' clock , the people residing in Lawton-siTeet , Congleton , were alarmed by loud soreaming , and criea of murder from the inmates of the House of Mr . Khrinks . The noise continued to increase , till the police arrived , who burst open the door ; when they were informed that shortly after the family had retired to rest , they were awakened by loud noises in the house , and on looking out of bed perceived the tall figure of a man flitting about the room . They suoposed it was no

      other » han the apparition of the notorious President Bradahaw , como to revisit his former dwelling . He was , in his day . Mayor of Congleton , and was the judge who condemned the . unfortunate Charles I . to be beheaded . The inmates were much terrified , and roared out lustily ; on which the mysterious visitor unceremoniously departed . The " police , aided by some members of the family , commenced a most diligent Bearch ; bnt everything was found as they had left it , perfectly safe and secure . The general impression in Congleton consequently is that M the house is haunted . "—Macclesfield Chronicle .

      A few days ago , the Isle of Tiree , near Dnmfries , 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 shaving a creek , when a native , Mr . D . Maclean , who chanced to be riding by , jumped off his horse , taking with him the bridle and his trusty dirk . It is well known that if one whale bleeds , and is stranded , the rest of the shoal , by some fatality , follow , and are easily secured . Mr . Maclean seeing the leader quite close , jumped upon its back , and scabbed it in the belly . The moment tbe monster took it in the saline element it turned belly up . Donald put his bridle about its tail , and swam with it to an adjacent boat ! In this manner the unequal fight was carried on for about an hour , when Mr . Maclean , after having secured eleven whales , felt exhausted , and had to give up the contest .

George King ' s—beauteous , blooming , lovely , modest , 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 arid young and middle-aged , all " hasted to the wedding ; " the female population wad on the out vive , each seemed

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

      Feightful 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 stories high , and in stepping from one portion of the work to another , holding on by a half brick projecting from the building , the brick gave way , be overbalanced himself , and was precipitated to the ground . In his descent he fell with his back across tbe 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 eneased at harvest work on the farm of Goodlyburn , they accidentally came upon a wasp ' s '" bike , " and so disturbed the inmates that they made their appearance in immense swarms , and fixed themselves upon the unfitting intruders before they could get 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 dangerous enemies . This they accomplished , but not until the man and wife were so severely stung , especially about the face—almost every trace of feature being obliterated—that they had to be helped homt and pnt to bed , from which , as yet , they have been unable to rise , the wounds having produced violent fever ^—Perth Courier .

      Stbajue and Melancholy Event . —About seven o ' clock yestercay morning , the bodies of two women were discovered lying near to each other at the outside of the east 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'lntyre , daughters of Mr . M'Intyre , late of the Excise , and residing on the Per ? h-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 this is not the case , as they were both seen on Monday last , late in the afternoon . Th . 8 cause of this lamentable event is not absolutely certain ; but the probability is that both committed seif-de > truction while in a state of temporary insanity . —Dundee Herald .

      Brutal Experiments on Animals . —A late number of ibe Lancet contains a notiee of certain experiments performed on cats , one of which is peculiarly bratal in its , character , and not of any scientific importance in its jesuks . 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 , aRd zinc . Life appeared to be instantly restored , the animal lift * d up it 3 head , openwd and shut its eyes , atid , looking with a fixed stare , endeavoured to walk ; and whenever it dropped , tried to raise itself upon its lego . It continued in this state

During all the time the animal was thas trear * d , the circu l ation of the blood appeared to go on regularly ; the secretion of the gastric juice was more than usual , and tbe animal heat was re-established . Although it is not expressly so Btated , the cat must have bt en alive when this tellow 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 hisscientific experiment on human creatures . —Observer .

      Thb late Parricide . —The following particulars appear in the Siecle of Friday : — " We yesterday mentioned a horrible crime committed in theenvirons of London on Mr . C . Dadd . The murder has been imputed to the victim ' s son , Mr . Richard Dadd , a young painter , who had already been subject to some fits of madness ; but as tbe police had been unable > o discover him , it was supposed he had drowned himself . This last supposition is an erroneous one , for this eveniDg we have recived at our office a visit from Mr . M , who . after reading the occurrence as we yesterday published it , had come to teli us the following : —Mr . M was , on tbe night of the 30 th nit . pass ' ng through the forest of Valence , near Montereau , and was seated on rhe imperiale by the side of a young Englishman , whose looks seemed to be wandering , and who had bvtn for above a quarter of an hour amusing himself lowering Mr . M ' s

      cravat and collar . This singular practice provoked the traveller , who desired his neighbour to have done with it ; the lat ' t-r then drew from his pocket an excellent Enjflibh rszor , and set about cutting the throat of the unfortunate Frenchman , who , despite a vigoroa ? resistance ; received four rather deep cuts . Notwithstanding hi& wounds , he succeeded in mastering the young msn , whose madness se < . m 3 to be a mania of catting throats ; for , on being taken before the justice of the peace at Montereau , he very quietly declared that his name was Richard Dadd , and that he had just recently arrived from England , where be had murdered his father by cutting his throat . He wan lodged in the Mtlun house . But the most Burprising circumstance of this strange story is , that the moment Richard Dadd was arrested he hastened to give all he had on him in order that bis victim might be taken care of' "

      Cause and Effect . —The quality and magnitude of a parent came is judged of from that of its legitimate offspring , effect ; and applying this sound maxim to the valuable discorery of Father Parr , we must necessarily arrive at the conclusion , that the intrinsic virtues of his Vegetable Cure are more than extraordinary . Where , or when was there ever a cause productive of such astonishing effects ? This is a question not easily answered .

      Steam Plough on Lochab Mosg .-On Monday last Mr . Curtis , th « r eminent engineer , invited abom twenty of his friend ^ to witness the machinery connected with ' this ploagb put in motion ; and it was truly astonishing to see such an immense fabric travel with the greatest facility over ground so eoft that a man « an scarcely stand upon it without sinking .. : Mr . Curtis politely explained the objects of the djfferent 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 parpose intended ; and we may expect to see , at no very distant period , that immense tract of barren morass—now only therewrt of curlews and seagulls—become a fertile valley , covered with clover and wheat . In faot , we regard this undertaking as the commencement of a now era m agriculture ; and if the maa who "makes two blades of grass to grow wheTe only one grew before w , to be regarded as hi . ? country ' s beat benefactor , what shall be said of him who converts worthleS 3 heath « , r into the most valuable grain . — Dumfries Courier .

      Mi"taky Execution in Spain . —Madrj » Aug . ^ 0 . —One of those events that make an Kngii .-. hman thrill with horror took place here this morning . A battalion of the 23 d Regiment of Infantry ( Del Principe ) , quartered at the barracksof San Francisco near the Toledo fiate , mutinied last night , on account oi their not having had their discharge , which had been repeatedl y promised them . The battalion was a ^ f rcoJona i and w » s one of the first that joined in the late insurrection ; it had only lately arrived here . Another battalion of the same regiment is now in tSe Fort of Montjuich . The men rose in mutiny about one a . m ., aiid 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 wounded , but this is now denied ; however , the men , about five hundred in number , remained in a 6 tate of mutiny all night . Other troops were brought out , and Narvaez 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 mon were then forced to declare who were the ringleaders , aad the latter were placed under arrest . A few minutes afterwards 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 sight of the barracks . 1 visited the place of execution an hour after : the bodies had been removed , but the wall against which they were shot was covered with blood , and here and there in the insterstices , and on the projecting points of the stones and mortar , were fragments of flesh and hair , which the bystanders were handing round . Numbers of persons hare been this morning to the place , and their " curses , not loud but deep , " rendered evident what their feelings were on the occasion . Aa immense display of force waa 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 tho 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 eo the murmurs of the men could ; not be suppressed , and the officers were obliged repeatedly to call out for silence ; they were then marched by tho dead bodies , and afterwards back to their quarters . A proclamation has been issued by Guernica , the new political chief , which iB 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 we shall not be long now without military law being proclaimed . The Queen comes in this evening at half-past six o ' c ' ock .

      Da . i > UKGiN ' s Machine fob Hoisting Matbiuals in Building . —Part of the machine rests upon the ground . The second part of it is a trestle , which may be placed upon the scaffolding of the bricklayers ; in tho upper part of which is a wheel which corresponds perpendicularly with another wheel , attached to tho principal body of the machine , resting on the ground . The wheel is put in motion by one or several men , who turn tho 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 brioklayers . The empty hods are attached to the ohain 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 the new story ; and the

      chain lengthened as required . This invention is to relieve the workman frem the most toilsome part of his labour by doins ; away with the practice of ascending the ladder , and preventing the accidents arising frem this practice . By these means building operations will be carried on with greater expedition than heretofore , and it will diminish the cost of such works . The hods are fastened to the chain at the rate of three in a minute ; each hod contains 16 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 aroi-age of a day's work . If the hods are placed more closely to each other on the chain , four can be affixed in a minute , 3 , 840 in the hour , 38 400 in the day ; If instead of hodB baskets be used the amount raised will be 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 Phterrix Park . The troops consisted of the Dragoon Guards and the 11 th Hussars . After being upwards of 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 mea were dismounted , and in tbe act of filing off to the stables , when his Lordship suddenly gave the command to remount . Tho whole of the eleventh were epeedily 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 Keutenauts , and asked

      him , where was his horse ? He replied , his groom bad gone for him . His Lordship replied smartly , " 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' bis command in an impassioned tone , and Mr . — — made the same reply aa before , upon which Lord Cardigan pun him under arrest . In the course of the afternoon , the officer represented the matter to Sir Edward IMakeny , 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 Advertixer .

      Landlords and Tenants in Ireland , —The Marquis of Headfort presided on Thursday at the annual dinner of the Rolls ( county of Meath ) Agricultural Society . The leading gentry of tho 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 . " Tho time is come , " said Mr . Naper , * when some change must take 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 aud Scotland—ought to take the matter into consideration . He was Sure many of them would cut off a portion of their superfluities , if they thought 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 not be too rapid nor too slow . " Mr . Naper closed amidst the cheering of the company .

      "Ntw System of Paying Rents . "—Under this heading the Carlow Sentinel , a Tory paper , has been publishing some announcements similar to the following : — "On Sunday morning last , between the hours of twelve and one o ' clock , about two hundred men and women , principally strangers in the district , proceeded to the farm occupied by a man named John Harney , near Ballon in this county , and cut down and carried away about five acres of wheat and two of oats , before six o ' clock . Tho party , who were provided with horses and cars , bare off ibe crops towards Hacketstown , and have not since 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 and the pubiio authorities into

      can co-operato to prevent its bein ^ carried practical effect generally .

      London Corn Market , Mos » ay , Sept . 11 . — DnriDg last week very considerable progress was made in harvest work , and the arrivals of all grain up to our market , if we except those of foreign Wheat , were on a very moderate scale . We have reived a fiill average sapply of New Wheat from Es . ' » x . ind Kent the quality of which was inferior . Old" Win ; at of borne produce being scarce , the prices obtained were quite equal to those obtained on Monday last ; but in order to effect sales of new parcels the factors were wwipelled to submit to a decline o& previous rate 3 of from Is to 2 s per quarter , and a clearance was not ejected . In fine foreign Wheat a very extensive business was transacted . There was a good supply of fine foreign Barley , which met a slow inquiry . The Malt tirade was dull . In Oats s fair amounto ? business was transacted . Beans , Peas and F ' our as last quoted , with little doing .

      Borough imt Spitals 7 ej ; b 3 . —The imports , of Foreign Potatoes continue so extremely small as to be scarcely wor&y of notice . From Essex , Kent , &c , fair average iime-of-year soppliea have come to hand iu condition s -while the demand iB firm , at from 3 . - * to 5 i 6 < i per cwt . Borough Hop MARKST . —Sinco onr last report four pockets of nov ? Hop 3 have been disposed of at prices varying from £ 7 15 s to £ 8 8 s per cwt . The qualify of the Hops mi question was very good , and we learn that picking ih now becoming pretty general . From most of thehop districts the accounts are favourable , and tba duty in consequence has advanced to £ 150 , 000 , In old Hops scarcely any business is doing , and prices are again lower . Tallow—This market is very dull and inactive For forward delivery the price is rather higher than on the spot : for the sprm&months , it is 42 s . 6 d .

      Wool Markets—For both 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 ; 52 Mrom Port Beaufort ; and 10 , 00 from Sydney . LiyKRPOOL , Corn Marketj Monday , Sbpi . 11 . — The imports of Grain , &o ., since this day se ' nnight are of very moderate amount : 3000 qrs . of Wheat and 800 qrs . of Peas are reported from Dantzig . The duty on Wheat remains at 14 s . per quarter until Friday next , when an advance is expected . With a 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 J . to 4 o . per bushel , whilst the finer qualities have receded rather more ; or ' the former , however , some parcels were on Friday taken on speculation , aud two or three purchases were made for Ireland . A few small lots of Irish new Wheat have sold ai 7 s 3 d to 7 s 6 d ; the neighbouring farmers have delivered freely at 7 s to 7 s 6 d per 7 Ofts ; th » quality and condition of their samples generally good , some fine . No change as regards Four ; 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 moro demand at 19 ; to 19 s 6 d per 2401 bs ; new has sold at 22 s 6 d to 23 s > Of new Oats we have had this week scarcely any at market ; the ; are quoted at 2 s 51 to 2 a 7 d per 451 bs . Barley , Beans and Peas , are each rather cheaper .

      Manchester Corn Market j Satitrdat , Sept . 9 . The weather has been of the most delightful character since onr 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 manufactured 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 quartern of Wheat are reported . The business passing in Wheat at our market this moraine was only limited , and was 2 d . per 701 be . lower . For superfine qualities of Flour ( of which the stocks in all hands are extremely light ) there was a moderate demand at 42 s . to 44 s . per 2801 bs . ; 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 ' 2 ls . per 2401 bs .

      Liverpool Cattlb Market , Mokday , Sept . II . —We have had a heavy supply of Cattle at market to-day , which met with dull sale at a little variation iu price . Beef 4 ^ d . to 5 Jd . Mutton 4 ^ d . to 5 ^ d ., Lamb 5 d . to 5 ^ d . per lb . Number of Cattle at market .- —Beasts 1533 , Sheep 7573 . London Smithpield Cattlb Market , Monda * Sept . 11 . —We have to report the arrival of a fair average supply of beasts . The beef trade was deoidediy more animated than for Bome weeks past , and in a few instances a trifling advance was obtained fot the primeat qualities . However , the highest quotation obtained for the best Soots did not exceed 4 s . per 81 bs ., but at that figure a good clearance was

      easily effected . The numbers of Sheep were good , but by no means extensive . There was certainly a better feeling in tho Mutton trade , and the currencies obtained on this day so ' nnight were freely supported —those of the best old Downs realizing from is . to 4 s . 4 d . per 8 : bs . Lamb 3 were * in good supply , and the quotations had , in some instances , an upward tendency . The Vyal trade was again steady , and the best Calves produced 4 s . 8 d . per 81 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 bean confined to twenty-five , into London , by the Batavia steamer , from Rotterdam .
