      Lovnov Cobs -ISscmam ^ MmMT , Oct . 13 . — TJie 3 week ' s an-ivals of ^ English wheat , barley , Ate b ^ ns and flour have been , the time of year S oTaveiT moderate scale ; but those of SftftEWMh * Oflmh p ^ onjy a iiiuzted quantity has been received ; while the total imports of all grain of foreign produce lias been below average ones . Fresh up to-day , coastwise as well as by land-carriage and samples , only a moderate supply of wheat of home produce came to hand , and that for the most part of middling quality . The show of samples was , therefore , seanty , owing to which thc increased attendance of buyers , both town and country , and tbe unfavourable accounts received respecting the harvest in the north of England , the wheat trade ruled brisk , at an advance in the currencies obtained on Monday last of from Is . to 3 s . per or ., being an improvement on Friday ' s rates of

      quite Is ., and at wnich most ot the parcels on offer were speedily disposed of by the factors . Still , however , the trade did not close so briskly as at the opening of ihe market . The show of free foreign wheat was by no means large , there being much inquiry for that description of-grain ; holders were Urm , and would not sell , except at a rise of from 2 s . to as . per qr ., at which amount of improvement a large business was transacted . For corn under lock there was a good speculative inquiry , and Is . to 2 s . per qr . more was paid for fine wheats . Although there were no orders on tbe market for the purchase of either barley , oats , beans , or peas for shipment to the continent , those articles were steady , and previous rates

      -were well supported . Ihe supply of English barley was very small ; hence the sale for it was somewhat active , at a rise in the quotations of Is . per qr . For the best parcels of malt , we had a ready demand at Is . per qr . more money ; while the value of other kinds was freely supported . Comparatively speakiagi very few samples were unsold at the market ' s close- We had a Tery short supply of oats on sale . For all kinds the sale was active , at Is . per qr . moro money . The best parcels of beans commanded an advance of Is . per qr . ; other kinds being held at extreme figures . Of peas the sale was by no means large , at late rates . Flour steady , and most of the millers were asking higher figures .

      Flour , meeting a brisk sale , must be noted fully is . per sack dearer . Oats , upon a moderate consumptive demand , were the turn higher .

LlYRRrOOh CoRX Market , Mosdas , Oct . 13 . — With exception of a limited quantity of oats , there has this week been a liberal supply of grain , meal , and flour from Ireland .

      Ins Manchester Athesedm Soibee . —In addition to the distinguished persons who have already accepted the invitation to the soiree on tlie 23 rd instant , Mark Lemon , Esq . ( the editor of Punch ) , and Gilbert A'Beckett , Esq ., one of its most distinguished contributors ; have expressed their intention to be present . With these gentlemen , Douglas Jcrrold , and Charles Dickens , the soiree bids fair to be a glorious " KightwithPtMicft . "—Manchester Guardian .

      JNaval Preparations . —The accounts from all the naval arsenals of the kingdom agree in stating that unusual activity prevails at present in the fitting OUt of \ eSSelsof \ vavof every description ; and we have heard witbin the last few days that a peremptory notice has been sent round by the Lords of the Admiralty to the different manufacturers of steam-boat machinery who are working for the government , informing them that the machines which tbey have in hand for government must be J-eady at the precise time fixed , and that , if they are not , the full penalties

      lor the breach ol contract will be enforced against them . This activity in preparing , the means for defensive warfare is accompanied with equal activity mortifying thc naval stations of the empire , so as to render them safe against any sudden attack . Coupling all these circumstances with the sudden movements of the squadrons in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Seas , it is difficult to resist the conclusion that the government considers war a possible event , and that it is placing itself in a position to meet any difficulties which may arise on either side of the Atlantic—Liverpool Times .

      FoniipriNG the Coast . ~ A detachment of sappers nnd miners arrived at Hayle last week , and proceeded to the parish of Zennor , where they have been engaged in repairing a battery , and report states that gnns of heavy calibre are to be mounted there .

TH E Direct London and Liverpool Railway is also a Direct Liverpool and Birmingham Railwa I , '

      y . _ ., ., It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham . ; From thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton either on the Grand Junction , or on the Wolverhampton , Dudley and Birmingham Railway . From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of Railway , consisting of 55 miles only , and passing through Newport and Whitchurch , on to Chester . At Chester the Direct London and Liverpool Railway proceeds on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway to Birkenhead . It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a Steam Ferry gratis to Liverpool across the Mevseyi so as to unite both towns into one . This Hallway has the advantage of passing through the towns on its route , without materially increasing the distance . The principle of she Direct London and Liverpool Railway , as in the case of the Rugby ; Derby and Manchester Railway , is to obtain a Direct through Line between some of the most populous districts in the kingdom , with the least possible amount of new Railway , and consequently the smallest expenditure of capital . The Direct London and Liverpool Railway opens up an entirely new District , at the Same time tlhlt it interferes but slightly with existing Railway interests . The maps , plans , estimates , and other documents required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the Parish clerks , the clerks of the peace tor the counties , and the parliamentary offices , on the 24 th day of November , being six days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament . A preference in the allotment of Shares will be given , to the extent of 13 , 000 , to the original Share-, holders in tlie Rugby , Derby , and Manchester Railway Company , on their sending in their applications for thc same .

      A proper reservation oi Shares will be made for the London and Birmingham , Chester and Birkenhead , and Warwickshire Railways , being tlie Railways by means of which the project now submitted to tho public is the most Direct London and Liverpool Railway that can be made . As the applications aro exceedingly numerous , a very early day will be named for closing the lists . In the mean time applications for Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors , or any of the Agents of the Company in the following form . FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES .
