    _Kraws Cobs Exchasgb , Mowu t _, Oct . 6 .-I ) nring _thenast week , up to Saturday evening , the arrivals of En"Ii 5 h wheat for our markets , coastwise as well as by land-carriage and sample , were , even the time of rear considered , limited , and principally of the present year ' s growth . Of all other grain of home preface including flour , the receipts were rather scantv . ' Fro _ ii Ireland a full average supply of oats cameto hand , while the imports of foreign wheat and flour were moderately good . The advices which h & re reached ns by this morning ' s post from the north of England being somewhat unfavourable as respects the progress making there iu harvest operations , the fresh arrivals of wheat from Essex , Kent , and other counties small , and the attendance of millers huge , the demand for all descriptions of wheat of home produce was somewhat active , at an

    advance in the currencies obtained at this day se ' nnight of from ls . to 2 s . per qr ., and at which nearly the whole of the samples on offer were disposed of . The show of free foreign wheat was comparatively small , but of Ml average quality . Selected qualities of both red and white commanded a ready sale at 2 s . per qr . more money , while the value of other kinds had an upward tendency . There being no buyers for shipment , bonded grain was a mere drug , and the prices ruled almost nominal . Ycry little new English barley was brought forward . The few parcels on thc market were readily taken at fully last week ' s prices . Foreign barley , free of duty , was

    in fair request at late rates . The best kinds of malt sold steadily ; other kinds slowly , at late rates . The supply was again small . Owing to the increased arrivals of oats from Ireland , and the large number of foreign samp les on sale , the oat trade was in a sluggish state , and previous figures were with difficulty supported , except for very fine parcels . The show of beans was by no means large , yet the inquiry for that article was slow , at barely stationary prices . Peas came freely to hand . As the supply was more than adequate to meet the wants ofthe buyers , and as there was no foreign demand , grey and maple declined 3 s ., and white 5 s . per quarter . Flour steady , at last Monday ' s prices .

    _X . OXDOX _SMirnriEtn Cattle Market , Mond . \ t , Oct . 6 . —The _hupo . ts of live stock lor our market since Monday last have been again liberal , they having amounted to 4 C oxen _jfi-oiu Hamburg , per the Countess of Lonsdale and the _Jvcptmie steamers , while from Rotterdam we have received 50 oxen , 54 cows , 500 sheep , and 12 calves per the Columbine , Batavier _, and Giraffe . Comparatively speaking , thc ahove arrivals have proved by no means first-rate . To-day we had on offer 112 " oxen and cows , and 310 sheep from thc above-mentioned ports . The former sdd at from £ 14 . 10 s . to £ 17 , the latter 35 __ . to 42 s . per head . At the out-ports the receipts have fallen off . The arrivals of beasts fresh up from the northern grazing districts consisted of _9 _.. 0 short-horns . Prom the

    eastern counties we received 300 Scots and shorthorns ; from the western and midland districts , 500 Herefords , runts , Devons , « fce . ; from other parts of England , 450 of various breeds ; from Scotland , 100 horned and polled Scots ; and from Ireland 100 beasts ; the remainder of the supply being derived from thc neighbourhood of the metropolis . The numbers of beasts being somewhat on tlie increase , they amouiit-\ ig to nearly 4 , 000 head , we have to report a very " " . _uJlinquiry for that description of stock . However , - 'l < primest Scots , < tc , sold at prices quite equal to those obtained on . Monday last , but the value of the middling and inlerior kinds suffered a decline of 2 d . per S lbs ., and a clearance was with difficulty effected . With sheep wc were scantily supplied for tlic time of year . Long Wools moved off steadily at very full prices . Iu other kinds of sheep , very little was doing , at barely late rates . Calves were in limited supply and heavy demand , at last week ' s currencies . In pigs a good business was doing , aud the quotations had an upward tendency .

    Maxchesteb _Conx Market , Satcroat , Oct . 4 . The weather , since our report of this day se ' nnight , has been exceedingly variable , the early part of " the week being very fine , whilst for the past few days we have Lad almost constant rain . The trade during the same period has undergone little or no change , a fair consumptive demand having been experienced for most of the leading articles , without any material variation from the previous currency . At our market this morning there was an extremely limited inquiry j for wheat , and prices continued the same for all de " - smptions . for flour a steady , but not extensive _irw ! exi _ erlenccd - an * the stocks of this article ¦ - _^ nrst nanus being moderate , former prices were _supwiife . jiv w _* ra"sact : . ons occurred in oat ? , . nnd lite _r _afcl ° aua ncw > _™* _w request , and realised _surges of Irish whc _^ _S 1 _^ * J" * in «» « _- » i , oats , and oatmeal ; these of

    fleur are to a fair amount . From abroad we have further arrivals of American and Canadian flour , and of beans from Egypt . The import duty on foreign wheat wa 3 advanced to 18 s . per qr . ; on flour to 10 s . lOd . per barrel , which are the only alterations since our last report . The weather for two or three days during the week waa very unsettled , and a heavy quantity of rain has fallen on the portion of grain crops yet unsecured northwards . Without any great extent of business , there is an increased confidence in the trade generally , and , as respects old wheat , a little improvement in price . _Richmosd Corn Market , Oct . 4 . —We had a large supply of grain in our market to-day . The samples of new wheat were very fair ; but , the weather haying been very unfavourable this week , cause an advance en last week ' s prices .

    Extraordinary Binin.—A Lew Days Ago A Po...

    Extraordinary _Binin . —A lew days ago a poor woman who was five or six months advanced in pregnancy , the wife ofa labouring man , and mother of two healthy children , residing at No . 7 , Gloucester-place , Islington , was delivered of still-bom female twins _,, between whom an union exists from the chest to the abdomen . Both children are exceedingly well formed in every limb and feature , excepting that portion constituting the union , and even this is not a deformity . They measure 12 inches long _. and are 21 bs . 3 oz . avoirdupois weight . Their features are well made and regular , with great symmetry in their limbs , with a fair development of muscle . There are two umbilical cords , entering the abdomen together , and united together by a thin membrane , which , to- a casual observer , appears as one ; so that , independently ofthe unity that exists , they are externally two perfectly formed children , like the Siamese twins , with this exception , that thc union consists of an

    adhesion ofthe ribs ofthe right side of one to the left of the other , the whole covered with the common integuments and muscles from the chest to the * lower part ofthe abdomen . In _examining the chest , Mr . Dommett , the surgeon , found each distinct from the other , there being no communication , but separated by the ribs , muscles , pleura , & c ., the contents of each being natural , with well formed Jungs and heart ; hut such was not the case with the abdomen , for here was found one common cavity for both , with separate viscera on each side , with the exception of the liver , which extended from the side of one to the opposite side ofthe other , forming one liver for both . This , with the distribution of the vessels from the end , . was the onl y deviation whicli was rbscrved . The other viscera were in their usual place , and number—namely , each had stomach , small and large intestines , spleen , two kidneys , bladder , uterus , and each in perfect position . They have been carefully preserved .

    The New _^ _Cockxev School . —A new Cockney school has arisen , ten times more twaddling and impotent than the ancient academy of that name ; the spirit of the times has changed . The literary youth of London ave all in ; the facetious line . They have regular clubs , at wliich they meet to collate the gathered slang and pilfered wittisms of thc week ; periodical compotations to work these material . into something like a readable shape and hebdomadal journals , by means of whicli their choice productions are issued to a wondering world . Now , though a single gnat can give you very little annoyance in the course of a summer ' s night , the evil becomes serious when you are surrounded with whole scores of these diminutive vermin , singing in your cars , buzzing in your hair , and lighting incessantly on your face . In vain you turn aside , in hopes to get rid of the nuisance . Go where 3 _* ou will , a perfect cloud of midges keep

    hovering round your head , each tiny bloodsucker sounding his diminutive horn , in the full and perfect belief that lie discourses most excellent music . Even so , in London , are you surrounded withthcscpliilosophevs of the Cyder-cellar . Their works stare you every wherein the face ; the magazines abound with their wit ; theirsongs , consisting for the most part of prurient parodies , arc resonant throughout the purlieus of Co vent Garden . What is worse than all , _ther have wriggled themselves into a sort of monopoly of the theatres , persuaded the , public to cashier Shakspeare , who is now utterly out of date , andtoinstal in his place a certain Mr . _^ as the leading swan of the Thames . Let us then submit to the better judgment of our brethren , and bow down promiscuously before any brazen calf which their eager idolatry may rear . Let Loudon promulgate the law of letters , as well as the statues of thc land . _—Plackwood ' s _Magazine .

    PROSPECTUS . - THE Direct London and Liverpool Railway is also a Direct Liverpool and Birmingham Railway . It uses the London and Birminghani Railway the whole distance to Birmingham . From thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton either on the Grand Junction , or on the Wolverhamp ton , Dudley and Birmingliain Railway . From Wolverhampton commences tho new portion of Railway , consisting of 50 miles only , and passing through Newport and Whitchurch , on to Chester . At Chester the Direct London an _* $ 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 Mersey , so as to unite both towns into one . This Railway 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 ease 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 that it interferes but slightly with existing Railway interests .

    The maps , plans , estimates , and otlier 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 thc 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 _giv « n to the extent of 1-5 ( 000 , to the original Shareholders in the Rugby , Derby , and Manchester Railway Company , on their sending in their applications for ihe same .

    A > proper reservation ol' Shares will be made for the London and Birmingham , Chester and . Birkenhead , and Warwickshire- Railways , being the Railways-by means of which , tbe project now submitted to the public is the most Direct London andLiverpool Railway that can be made . As the applications are 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 .

AMID the mauv and the mighty records of man ' s discoveries in the arts and sciences ,, which owe their existence to the unceasing energies and boundless wealth of this commercial empire , posterity will search in vain the historical monuments ot departed ages , to discover one more wonderiuivor valuable m tne annals ofa nation ' s greatness , than thc iron roads of the nineteenth century—those magnibcent lug bways ot commerce , which , extending in every direction then * gigantic trunks and literally countless blanches , _« nd intersecting in its length as in its breadth thc entire Kingdom of Great Britain , arc , to , thc extent ot some thousand miles , momentarily traversed with almost lightning rapidity , by the potent agency ot btcam . Most trulv has it been observed that "the philosophy of railroads is only now beginning to be comprehended bv the universal world ; daily and rapidly they are developing new and important views ot society _; they are . in fact , self-sustaininglsoeial instruments , that by cheapening innumerable commodities , anil diminishing thc cost of transit , arc not only increasing consumption , but creating , as , it were , in savings-new enterprise , new capital , new wants . " ¦ ¦ , , , ~ _„„ , „„_ . ;„„ If any changes yet await them ( and , doubtlsss , there are some ) , they are changes merely _ofpran from one stage of improvement to another : but sooner or later the adoption of railroads must » ecome universal , though the broad guage , bv reason of its supposed increased safety , with increased speed , sliould ultimately clash with the narrow , anil the maximum of our present velocity should become the minimumi ot speed hereafter , for while an engine manufactured in ISM cannot accomplish the- distance between London and Liverpool in less than six hours , we behold another constructed m 18 do traversing thc same space m Tho _fJsStion may appear , at first mention , astounding to those quite unacquainted with thc fact and in happy ignorance ofthe great advantages of railroads , even as investments yet so highly rcmunei _* ative has been the actual interest only , paid by Railwav Companies on the amount ot money called loi up to the present time , that thc effect has positively been to create a new and independent property lor _Railway Shareholders , over and above the gross amount of capital advanced by them ,. ot upwards ol

    1 - > ) ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS STERLING . . The primary and thc principal object of this Company is to accomplish , on the more extensive held ol continental Europe , as well as in our British possessions throughout tlio world , what England , with all her wealth , and all her energies , has , from her very limited extent alone , only succeeded as yet m carrying out comparatively in miniature , viz ., the construction of Railroads ; in other words , to accomplish by steam power a still more gi gantic scheme of _passenger traffic on land than those extensive fleets ot steamers , known as the various Foreign Steam Navigation Companies of England , havo hitherto maintained at sea . With such important views , aud national as well as individual interests sincerely at heart , accredited Directors , with ample resources at their command in several instances most favourably connected , in all practically and intimately acquainted with thc various localities they arc destined to proceed to , will be specially delegated , on behalf of the Company , to enter into negociations with Continental States and British and Foreign Governments , and by contracts ofthe most favourable nature for the interest ot Shareholders in the present Company , to secure the concession of the many exceedingly valuable lines of railway which to the extent of several thousand miles throughout the world , still await thc immediate application onlv of British enterprise , combined with British capital , to bc effectually and successfully carried out . An engineering staff , on a scale of liberality sufficiently great to meet the magnitude ot the undertaking , and as perfect in its several appointments as the very highest order of pent ( supported by unexceptionable testimonials ) , can constitute it , will accompany a chosen body of the Directors throughout their travels to guide ' their jud gment on scientific questions , and to rep ort on engineering matters , sueh as earth-works , costs of construction , and the precise nature of the several soils and gradients . ,.. . . . The Directors purposely omit all mention of engineering difficulties , because , with the single exception of physical impossibilities , experience daily proves that they resolve themselves into the simp le . _question of expense , and consequent amount of interest , and are therefore , more properly speaking , matters for the special consideration of financiers ( rather than of engineers ) , by whom tlicy will be full y debated and disposed of . "With a view to ensure not only names of high commercial _standing , and possessing likewise extensive influence with Foreign States , but also . practically efficient working Directors , the Executive of this Company has been constituted liberally remunerative ; thus every Director will feel that in his own personal services lies the secret power of rendering the present project only the first ot a series of eminently successful undertakings , in the interest of all of which he ' must _hcoessarib participate . Every grant for a Railroad secured bv . tho successful negotiations of this Company , will be constituted a separate and distinct Railway Company , and every holder oi Shares herein will be entitled to the call at par of a proportionate number of the new shaves in every Company , according to tV . enumber hemay possess in the present one * . such claim to be made bv the production of the original staves at the Company's _office seven clear days previous to everv allotment of shares in ea ? _U _CofflPany .
