However reluctant many of us were to act upon that arbitrary order , we had no other alternative , but to carry it into tff-ct . or be classed amongst the enemies of onr country . The unfortunate occurrences in Walts and elsewhere * furnishing an- argument to those who desired to raise a barrier between os amdtac G'lartists . Ton know that tefore the name of Toan ? Ireland' was known , we spurned the despo tic orders of tbat Call , in the case of 'Roar-be , * and flung our warJewmips in thslr faces . But , thank God , better days aie coming und » r the system of the Irish Confedtratioas . \ 7 e can h-tve all men who agree in the ene thing necessary . —the Ik-peal of the Union , and the means to obtain it ; ' no connection with the Tory , or the B .

I am much obliged to yen for calling my attention to this subject , we hare no sectarian test ; all good wen Etiall he welcome , and only rtqnired to conform to the rule * "four club .

I think I could promise Mm ' a eead mSUcfdUhea , ' for he has done more to break down that prejudice that existed in the minds of the working people of this country than any other man could possibly do . He loves them well , bnt he tells them pHinly that he l- > ves Ireland better . He will be one of those distinguished Irishmen that we and onr posterity shall claim as oar own and whom Englishmen will have occasion to revere as their benefactor and friend .

Cchuax Ctra —The Usual Weekly Meeting Of...
CchUAx Ctra —The usual weekly meeting of the Curran Club wns held at the Charier Coffee House , Stratum Ground , Westminster ; Mr M'Sweeney in tbe chair . In the course of tbe evening , a party of O-d Irelaiiders , who had obtained admission , condncted themselves more like madmen than rational being ? . That tbey had been engaged for the purpose was evident , having been well plied with Barclay and Perkins . " Messrs Reading , Reynolds , and ila ' issey , offered to meet them at any time , and at « cy place , to dtfcoss the princi ples of Old and Young Ireland , -which ofivr they refused ; and they went so far as ti state tbat their instructions were not to listen to anything that was said . If the Repeal Assnciatii ! iii * ts think to put down tbe Confederate Giub « in Londen they will find themselves mistaken , for the regulations just issued by the council of the Cot-federates in Dublin . ' recommends that all meetings in England and Scotland be held in private roems instead of public houses . ' If this advice be adopted , it will at once remove aU annoyance that may be offered by those ignorant and deluded men , wha are led away by t . iose who are ashamed themselves to be seen connected with such meetings . At the meeting of the Chelsea Cokfedeiutes on Sunday e-ening , held at the King ' s Arms , Chelsea , the scene was beyond all description . The Old Ireland party jumped over the tables , wielding quart pots , &; ., and the Confederates were compelled to adjourn to another place , their lives being in jeopardy . Such conduct reflects tbe greatest disgrace on the part of the Repeal Association .

THREEGnuDEEX Bobxt to DiATH . —A horribleau d fatal accident occurred on Wednesday night last , at the Blackiaw lints , on tbe Caledonian Railway , above Beattoek , * by which , three children were destroyed , and two women seriously injured , oae ol whom is Ent expected to recover . It appears that a man named Roberts and his wife had possession of two nuts , in wbieb lodaers were kept and ale sold . In the-ve h-jvels , b ? sides Roberts and his wife , there lived two ledgers , the wife of one of them , two children of E'jberte , both girls , one two years and a half , and the other a year old , and a young girl b- 'twixt ten and eleven , who acted as a servant . The three children slept in a loft , and they , along with the other inmates , had aU gone to slcsp on Wednesday nightexcept
, Roberts ' s wife , the husband having been from home , who sat up later . In toing to bed , or at least into the b ? . d" « utn > , her candle had come in contact , it is supposed , withsoroe of the bed-clothes , and before the alarm was given , and the lodgers roused , the whole of the loffrwas in flames . They bad barely time to e-cape , bearing » he unfortunate woman along with ihem , wssn tbe roof of the hut fell iu , bringing down tbe todies of the poor children , which were almost bnrnt to ashes . The fire spread with great rapidity , and speedily consumed Roberts ' sother hut , and an adjoining one belonging to James Wright . The whole of Roberts ' s furniture and c ! o : hing , aswell as several barrels of ale , were destroyed . liis wife was so severely burnt , that there is very little hope
entertained of her recovery , and the other woman was severely barnt on the left arm and shoulder . They have both been removed to the hospital at Howcleugh . Et"TEiiEST . —Last week , an elopement of a rather unusual character occurred not far f rom the Castlehill , Edinburgh . The wife of a respectable tradesman was missing one forenoon , and it was soon ascertained that she had decamped to Glasgow , in company with a married man who lodged , in the house , taking with her a considerable sum ef money and other property belonging to her husband . lie inst'ntat eiusly set out for Glasgow in pursuit , traced them to a tavern , and pounced upon them whilst in thenv . dst of their enjoyment . He bestowed s sound flagellation on the gay Lothario , and sent far a cunstab ' . e , to whom he gave both in charge , wnile he proceeded in search of a warrant to compel tha restitution of his property . Oa his return the
birds wereniwn , aud ne learned , after some inquiry , that eluding the constable oh some pretence they had gwi straight to the Broomielaw , and embarked on board a vessel bound for New York , which had ssiicd . lie hurried away , procured an Admiralty variant , hired a steamboat , and setoff in pursuit of the fugitives . By this considerable time had elapsed , and they had so much the start of Mm that it was only opposite Dumbarton that he overtook them . By vi r -uc of the Admiralty warrant , he boarded the vessel , seized the fugitives , who , on the spot , gave up , it ia understood , all the money , & s „ belonging to him . lis then wisSed them a happy voyase acrass the Al > bntic , and returned home in high spirits and happy temper at having turned t '» e tables so neatly on an ung rateful friend and a fsith ' ess wife . The lady has been roanied . - . boat 22 year .-, and is about double the aseofher paramour . Fortunately she has no children .

The Present State Of Great Britain Chapt...
THE PRESENT STATE OF GREAT BRITAIN CHAPTER IV . The system of eorrtiption . its vast expense , and the ¦ general disaffection it has created . The next object by which we can judge of the stability of the system of Britain , is the principle upon which the whole of her government turns . From the first formation of the representative body , from which we must date the commencement of her constitution , to the revolution of 1688 , the history of England presents a steady , uniform , uninterrupted progress towards the establishment oi liberty and law . By the wise employment which tbe representatives made of their omniuotence over the
national purse , they were often oppressed , fined , and imprisoned by the arbitrary acts of despotic princes , but Merer corrupted : they held fast by the power of the purse , and constantly repaired , the breaches made at unfavourable- moments , and even strengthened the out-works when they found an occasion . It was a constant struggle between representation on the side of liberty and Law , and despotism against them ; until at length , in the reign of the last of the S * uarts , the contest was brought to a happy conclusion between the certainty of law and the uncertainty of will . By this victory the great principle was established , that no man should obey a law , or pay a tax , that was not ordained hy his representative . ' _ .
. Read the history of England , and you will find with what admirable pertinacity the representatives guarded the national purse throughout this long and glorious struggle ; in no instance abandoning the right of the people through fear or menace , did they grant the public money , but with the most rigid economy ; they felt that the supplies were the lever and main spring by which the liberties of the people and the movements of the government were to be regulated ; hence taxes were few , and debts there were none ; the crown preferred menace and force to corruption . From the revolution of 1688 all has been
reversed : violence has been abandoned towards the representatives , and influence has been substituted ; tksis the great point I would seize , for here is the source of that endless expense which has increased , is increasing , and cannot be diminished . What an Herculean work J What an endless expense flows from the change . In order to render the crown independent of the control of the parliament , it must influence , not only the representatives , but it naturally seeks to have a majority of the electors throughout the nation ; to add to the power of the government , you must augment the burdens of the people .
In proportion as the people show a disposition to oppose the measures of the ministry , the ministry feel a necessity to load the people , when there is an overwhelming patronage and an imperfect representation . In proportion as the representatives have some remnant of freedom , in proportion will the people be loaded with an expense to corrupt them . Every excess in expense for the purpose of corruption , naturally creates the discontent and opposition of the people , while this increased discontent and opposition calls for an additional expense to allay them .
Crown against people , and people against crown , expense accumulates in geometrical measure , whereby the enormous augmentation of the influence of the crown by the receipt and expenditure of fifty millions * in peace time , and near 100 millions ! in war time , are insufficient ; the immense patronage of England , Ireland , Wales , and Scotland , in church , in law , in army , in navy , in diplomacy , and in revenue , is insufficient ; the pillage and plunder of the East Indies , with five times the population of Britain , to satiate the adventurers who pass in succession , are insufficient , for this plain reason , the increase of influence leads to an increase of opposition , and the increase of opposition leads to an increasefof influence , and acting and reacting , the system is constructed to go forward in expense upon a principle of increased velocity .
In vain the parliament has declared , ' that the influence of the crown had increased , was increasing , and ought to be diminished ; ' yet how insignificant , when this declaration was made by the British Parliament , compared with what it is now ; but effects will follow their causes , nor is it in words or declarations to change thera . J In 17 S 3 this system of influence had accumulated a heap of patronage , of debt , and of taxes , which alarmed the nation , at a time when despondency ,
which always attends the termination of war , bad seized on the people of England . Before the doctrine of inexhaustibility was preached and believed , Mr Pitt declared himself the apostle of parliamentary leforr , as the only remedy against the enormous and growing extravagance of the system of influence ; upou the principle , that without a controlling parliament , really emanating from the choice of the nation , no security could be relied on from the virtues or professions of ministers .
These principles recommended him to the ministry , and his conduct has been the confirmation of his own doctrine , of the little dependence to be placed in the virtue of ministers ; but although he has abandoned his principle , a majority of the people still think that a controlling parliament is the only security against the . system of influence , here is the point at issue which divides the nation at present . The one side maintains , tbat a controlling parliament is the foundation , the essence of the old English constitution , the genuine principle by which it was founded , and by wbich alone it can be supported ; while the other contends for the system of influence , with all its accumulations , its patronage , and its endless expenses .
This is the constitution which in several reports of the committees of parliament it is asserted , there is a plot to destroy , upon such proof as leaves no doubt of ' thenature , ^ extent , and malignity of the extravagant designs which have been formed , of the regularity of the system with which these designs have been pursued , of the rapid progress of the measures which have been taken to attempt to carry them speedily into execution !' The people of Scotland , if we can believe these
reports , ate even i \\\\ mote discontented and disaffected to this system of influence ; and in Ireland , discontent and disaffection have become even still more general . As that country furnishes more than half the sailors , and a vast portion of the soldiers of England ; as from its position it has become one of the most interesting countries in Europe ; and as it is peculiarly connected with the stability of Great Britain , a brief sketch of the policy she has pursued in Ireland , and the effects that have followed is indispensable .
* The Government Taxes At Thirty-Four An...
* The government taxes at thirty-four and a half millions , tbe poor rates at six millions , the clergy and public instruction six millions , besides tbe taxes for tbe repairs of the highway ; , bridges , public buildings , tbe lighting , paring , and poliee ofthe towns , 4 c , & c , & c , show that fifty millions is a very moderate estimate of a peace establishment , without taking into consideration the tffect of the present war . f In 1797 the loans amounted to sixty-seven millions . j The drowsy apathy which this wide diffusion of corruption has created in a considerable part of the nation , is tbe reason why we have seen the secret cabinU , and almost all the ostensible administrations , during this reign , undermine or utterly destroy all the great main pillars upon wbich the constitution was placed at the revolution of 1683 . Let no man imaglna , that in a question of stability or industry , the stata of immortal libtrty is not an essential consideration . To her liberty Great Britain owed tbe flourithing state to which her industry hag been cartied , liberty and industry must destroy corruption , or corruption will destroy them . § See the report on tho king ' s message on the 12 th of Hay , 1791 , page 1 . These parliamentary reports are many and voluminous . It is impossible to paint the disaffection which ministers created in the minds of the people of fireat Britain and Ireland more forcibly than it has been described in those reports . In what part of history shsll we find malignant distortion the fruit of ; even tolerable government I

'The Lbadbe . ' —Peter Carroll , in his penny Dublin Register , shows , that out of 2 , 282 of the secular clergy , only 403 have declared for Mr John CConnell ; out of twenty-three suffragan bishops , only seven ; and out of four archbishop * , only one . He observes , that from the time of the news of the death of the late Mr O'Connell reached this country , up to the 4 th of last month , when the member for Limerick and Kilkenny declared himself duly elected ; the polling and the election were vigorously carried on- 403 Catholic clergymen voted once , and about ten twice ; seven bit-hops voted twice , thrice , and " one or two five times ; and one archbishop gave three votes , —altogether about 600 persons have voted , including men , women , and children , out of a population of eight millions ! so that he is elected ' the leader' by one out of every 13 . 333 of the Irish people .
An officer of the law sent down to effect an entrance into Slosve , found an opportunity et climbing into a window , and stripped off his coat that he might the more easily perform the feat . The siege was unsuccessful , and be boldly confronted a posse of servants by whom ho was called to account ; but , his warrant being called for , he could not produce it—it was in his coat pocket . The ' Johns' and the ' Marya' ejected him instanter .

AN ADDRESS OF A COMMITTEE CHOSEN BY THE DELLGATES THAT MET AT NEWCASTLE-UPON-TTNE , ON THE 26 th OF SEPTEMBER . .. . TO THB MEN OF DURHAM AKB K 0 RTH 0 MBEHUND . Fribnds , — A new era in the history of this country is dawning upon * us , and it behoves the men of these counties , in connection with the people of every other portion of these realms , to awake , arise , and prepare for coming events ; to unite and assist their brethren to break in twain the oppressor ' s rod . This great ar . d mighty task is yours to perform , and will ye shrink from it ? Brother Chartists ! Arouse from your slumbers , and stand erect , like men who are determined to be free . See what has been done at the late elections , and consider what may be done at the next , if we are
prepared . Do not let us appeal to you in vain , but unite with us in demanding your rights . Sign , and also get others to sign , the National Chartist Petition , that is to be presented tothe next House of Commons by our indefatigable chiefs , Buncombe and O'Connor . Class legislation has ever been tho bane and curse of this country , it is . indeed , the abomination that roaketli desolate . Has it not reduced the industrious millions to tbe conditions of serfs and slaves ? Has it not clouded the face of eur country with huge pauper prisons , enlarged and multiplied our gaols , penitentiaries , and transport ships ? trusting , by such means , to keep the people in perpetual bondage . Vain delusion ; as well might it he
attempted to stay the tide of the mighty ocean , which , notwithstanding such puny efforts , will continue to roll on , and on , overwhelming every obstacle opposed to its progress . It is only by the adoption ef tbe People's Charter , that the toiling millions can hope to attain that proud pre-eminence which is the characteristic of the people of a free country . We shall continue to agitate for the People ' s Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter-On yon , therefore , fallowmen , depends the issue . Come , then , and let us reason together ; allow no " petty considerations to deter you frem joining us ; remain no longer silent , but let your honest convictions speak out .
We , the committee , believe there are in Northumberland and Durham many ardent friends of the Charter , and we trust you will not let this opportunity pass by , but take advantage of the . present tone of public feeling , and you may swell the tfunfibers , and add still greater strength to the people ' s cause . : -May our moat sincere wish , and heartfelt desire , to see our country restored to prosperity and happiness , be responded to by you . In the meantime we remain the friends of freedom- and advocntes of the People's Charter . By order of the committee . '¦ •' ¦ ' *

THB CHAETIST METROPOLITAN DELEGATE
COMMITTEE , TO THE MEN OP LONDON . Bbethren . —The past fewyeari have revealed toman the varied and changeful state of human society , the years 1830 to 1810 were an eventful era in the pace of British history , and laid the foundation for that ultimatum so ardently and devotedly sought for . Fhrensied declamation no longer strays its precarious influence over the agitated feelings ef society , since reason first dawned and widely diffused her incalculable blessings on the minds of Britain ' s toiling industrious sous . The late general election of members to serve in the British parliament , not only spoke volumes in favour of the mind ' s progress , but so purified the political horizon , tbat we beheld the bright morning star of Hope , shining brilliantly in all its refulgent splendour , to cheer the discon .
sotate , strengthen the weary , direct the watchful , and awaken the dormant feelings of those whose political apathy cannet henceforth fee considered otherwise tban criminal . Already we behold the dawn of a happier day —the precursor of the glorious Sun of Freedom ; , who will arise in all his majestic grandeur , and dispel the lowering clouds of injustice and wrong ; that the nation may behold Him in all his transcendant beauties , - shedding his benign influence over a pure , industrious , and ill-governed people ; diffusing his genial warmth on all mankind , and his soul-stirring rays penetrating the innermost recesses of society . Man having ' once felt its generous flame , ' would burst the chains of evil and of wrong , tbat bound , enslaved , and degraded bim . Illgotten wealth eonld no longer rule with terrcr the unfortunate Jaw . made poor . Squalid poverty and wretchedness would never more be bereft of a home In society .
Neither would stunted , starving children , with tearful eyes , hunger knawlng bosoms , piteous and distorted faces , supplicate for food , and in vain . Nor society again be shocked to its very centre in the beholding of an affectionate parent writhing in the extreme of agony from his inability by honestindustry to procure the necessaries of life for bis famishing children ; his stomach Irritated by hunger , producing feverish excitement , his brain inflamed , bereft of all hope , nature unable any longer to endure snch excruciating sufferings ; he sinks beneath the accumtnulatioa of woe , and madness reigns triumphant and the once industrious ill-requited band is stained with the blood of his innocent , unoffending children . Oh , nature , forbid ! Forbid it , kind HeavenU That such an amount of misery , destitution , and woe , should ever again exist in this , the greatest , the richest , and bravest nation in tbe world .
Brethren , —The source from whence flows those mon .-ster evils , which produce such an accumulation of woe , is misgovernment , arising from class-legislation . That class-legislation wbich makes class laws , upholds oligarchy , monopoly , and all its concomitants , tramples on the rights of man , the privileges of society , the freedom of action , and the feelings of millions of our unfortunatt'eouotrjmen , lathe House ef Lords , monarchy audits concomitants , privileged rank and its evils , landocracy aad itscurses , are assembled , and diligently guided by the st & te church and the lawn sleeve descendants of the holy apostles , those humble followers of tbe meek and lowly Jesus . In the House of Commons , ore to be found
the representatives of commerce , landlordism , stockjobbers , and money-changers . And also banking , canal , dock , embankment , bridge , railway , steamboat , turnpike , market , Bast India , West India , South Seae , Australian , New Zealand , Hudson Bay , Peninsula Mail , lFest India Mall , and a host ef other companies . All and every description of interest finds a resting place on the floor of the British senate , save and except tbe industrious artisan , the agricultural serf , and the factory doomed slave . So great an anomaly cannot , and must not , longer be endured . Men of London , and of Britain , —be ye just as you are generous , and allow the truths of Christianity to be happily realised , in peace on earth and good will towards man .
'Now's tbe day and now's the hour , ' ' . Let yonr hands be joined together , in the bond of inseparable friendship , and yeur hearts be cemented together In the bond of universal brotherhood , and register in heaven yonr vows , never to cease iu jour uniWd ' nnd indefatigable endeavours to be free , until jasticeiwields her undivided sway over the destinies , of this mighty empire . •; :..-Wiihah Tapp , Secretary .

attacking the conduct of Feargus O'Connor Esq . M . P ., deem such remarks utterly unfounded , and beneath contempt . We also express our unshaken confidence in Mr O'Connor , and his plan of ameliorating the con . rtition of tho working classes , and we give it as our opinion , that the day is not far distant when the think , ing portion of the community will cease to support tbe Dispatch' and all other such venal and time serving jour , nals . ' Mr Sewell , one of tbe trustees of the Land Company , addressed the meeting , and promised to do so again on Thursday evening . Mr Sewell was loudly cheered on resuming his seat , A copy of the Dispatch was then burnt to ashes in the room amidst an immense clapping of hands , and the landlord expressed his determination to take in that paper no more , although he had done so for a long time . Enclosed are a few of the embers in proof of the' flare up . '
Cirr and Finsbdry LocAirrr—A . crowded meeting of this locality , was held at the . Good Intent Coffee-house , Hatton Garden , on Monday evening last , Mr W . Allnutt in the chair , Mr Misha Nobbi moved , and Mr J . Coleman seconded , the following resolution : — The resolution was ably supported by Messrs W . Salmon , Gower , T . Salmon , and carried . That we , tbe members of this locality , view with feelings of deep regret the coaduct of the' Whistler ' and his employers , in respect to the character of Mr O'Connor , believing that such parties were actuated by no good feeling towards tbe working classes , but on the contrary with a view to injure their exertions in eman . cipatlng themselves from slavcry , ] Mr O'Connor ' s character being such as to warrant us in giving bim . our unlimited confidence , and we further recommend tbe mem . teers of the Land Company in all localities , to . fly to tbe rescue ft Mr O'Connor , and not let the expenses of tbe action fall upon hi . n .
It was moved by Mr W . Salmon , seconded by Mr Weghorn : — That the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr Wecrth for the very praiseworthy manner in which he advocated the interests of the working classes at the Free Trade Congress at Brussels . That this meeting consider the Cengress held in Brussels under the designation of Free Trade—was an insult tothe common sense , honesty , and intelligence of the nineteenth century , being in fact an assembling of men met rather to serve the interest of their own order , than to benefit the human family „ and we regard with feelings of distrust every man or body of men , who aim not at universality of principle , for which we have as Chartists contended , and are prepared to defend to the last .
After which , Mr E . Black , of Manchester , delivered an interesting address descriptive of his visit to Lowbanda and O'Connorville , which gave much satisfaction .

That as men are naturally equal , being physically governed by the universal laws of nature , tbe beings of one author , who has declared himself to be no respecter of persons , thus eternally establishing man equality , any laws passed for tbe aggrandisement of any particular class , at the expense of , or to tbe disadvantage of , the whole , is a manifest violation of the principles of Christianity , by which our present legislative assemblies ostensibly profess to be governed . Moved by Mr lomlinson , seconded by Mr Thomas : — That as the present House of Cemmons is appointed by a mere fractional portion of the people , it does not and cannot represent the interests of the great majority of the nation while so constituted . Moved by Mr Boden , seconded by Mr Sutcliffe t—
Tbat the physical and moral condition of the people can never be thoroughly improved , until the principles emboditd in the People's Charter , become the law ef the land .

' ' Hr Cuffay was . nnanimously called upon to preside . Mr Dixon was received with the most marked respect ; he entered into a clear , lucid , and lengthy exposition of the wrongs and privations which the working classes under the present
system of class misrule are obligated to endure . Mr Dixon proved that the condition of the working classes of England a century ago was much better than their present condition , which he contended had become deteriorated in consequence of the misapplication of machinery . He did not wish to bo misunderstood , he was no enemy t < tthe use of machinery , he cared not if machinery was invented and brought into nse to supersede manual labour entirely , provided the labourers reaped the advantages accruing from its use ; but so long as machinery was exclusively in the power of the capitalist and directed exclusively for bis benefit , tothe detriment of the working classess , so long would the operatives of this degraded and class ridden country ' remain in their present , deplorable condition . Mr Dixon entered into a long and truly harrowing description of the fines
imposed by the tyrant millocrats of the north upon their slaves , and showed that the laws in these manufacturing hells are equally as despotic as the laws of Ruieia or Austria . He showed the audience that the mlllocrat constitutes judge , jury and executioner .

Corn, Isc. Mabk-Lake, Monday.—During Las...
CORN , isc . Mabk-lake , Monday . —During last week the arrivals of all Kinds of grain , as well as flour , up to our marie * coastwise wore on a very limited scale ; from Ireland and Scotland the receipts were yery small . From abroad the imports were on a comparatively trifling scale , they principally consisting of 10 , 930 ars . © f wheat , 19 , 190 qrs . of oats , and 7 , 3 n barrels of flour , chiefly from Russia ana the United States . Fresh up this morning the supply of wheat of homeproduce is on the increase , and considerably larger tnan on Monday last . The quality , however , owing to the prevailing damp weather , was by no means first-rate . The fhow of samples of both red and white being tolerably good , and the attendance of both town and country buyers by no means good , the demand for all kinds of English wheat was less active than" on Friday : nevertheless a
large portion of the supply was cleared off at prices abont equal tn those obtained on Monday last , On the whole tho trade may be considered steady . With foreign wheat we were tolerably well , but not tosay heavily supplied . The best qualities of both red and white were in fair request , atfully last week ' s currencies ; but tb e middling and inferior kinds commanded very littleattention at late rates . The actual amount of business concluded in any description was by no means large . The show of malting barley was exceeding small . That article was , in most instances , held for more money bnt wbich was not generally paid . Grinding and distilling sorts moved off at late rates . Superfine malt ready for delivery was in good request * at a little more money , and the value of all other kinds was supported in every instance . At the close ofthe market a good clearance of all samples , which were few in number , was effected . The arrivals of oats from all quarters , especially from our coast and from Ireland , being on a very moderatescale , the oat trade may be considered steady for the best parcels ; but in prices wo have no improvement to notice .
There was a foir sale for beans at extreme currencies . In peas a full average amount of business was transacted at very full prices . Indian corn and meal were qnite as dear , with a good business doing in those articles Flour was in moderate request at fully late rates . British . —Wheat : Kent , Essex , and Suffolk , old red 54 s to 58 s , new red 52 s to 5 Gs , old white Gls to 65 s , new white 59 s to 63 s , Norfolk and Lincoln , old red 51 s to 55 b , old white —s to —s . —Rje 34 s to 36 s . —Barley : grinding 35 s to 30 s , distilling 25 s to 80 s , malting 33 s to 35 s , Chevalier 37 s to 38 s . —Malt : Brown 60 s to 6 is , pale 03 s to-65 s , Suffolk and Norfolk 63 s to 67 s , new pale Ware . 64 s to 66 s , old—s to—s , Chevalier 67 s to 68 s . —Beans : Tick 37 s to 46 s , pigeon 86 s to 45 s , Harrow new —s to —s , old —s to —s . —Peas : white 49 s to 53 s , grey and maple 44 s to 47 s . —Oats : English feed 22 s to 24 s , Poland 28 s to 25 s , Scotch feed 22 s to 24 s ,.-Potato 27 s to 29 s .

Richhond ( Yorkshire ) Oct . 2 . —We . bad a thinner supply of grain to-day ; and p rices were in consequence a shade higher . —Wheat sold from 6 s 9 d to 8 s ; oats 2 s 9 d to 5 s ; barley , 4 s 6 d to 5 s ; beans 4 s 9 d to 6 s 6 d per bushel . Wak « fiem > , Oct . 8 . —We have a good supply of wheat j yet a great part of it being disposed of last week , causes only a moderate show of samples , and having a fair demand , an improvement of 2 s to Ss per quarter is effected . Barley is ready sale at Is to 2 s advance . Oats and shelling in slow request on rather lower terms . Beans Is per qr . dearer . JTo change in other articles . Manchester , Oct . 9 . —This morntn / r holders of wheat
required an advance ef 2 < i p » r 7 slbs ., which , however , was not freely paid by buyers . Flour was in steady , but not excessive demand , at Is per sack and barrol over tho currency of this day sv ' nnight . Oais remained unchanged in value , but oatmeal must he noted is per load cheaper . LiVEBPoor ,, Monday , Oct . 11 . —The supplies of grain and flour are on a very moderate sale this week , cither from abroad or our own coast . There has been a good business passing in our grain market since last Tuesday . The better qual . ties of wheat have obtained an advance of 2 d to 3 d per bushel , and choice fresh barrel flourthe stock of which is now in a narrow compass—fully Is per barrel . The best Western Canal flour commands 25 s per barrel . Barley , beans , and peas , are each rather dearer . Good new oats find steady sale as they arrive , At fully late rales . The Irish de-. t . and for Indian corn has somewhat fallen off , and the superior descriptions have declined Is to i ' s per quarter , while the inferior feeding quality nearly maintains late rates .
