" Many able arguments were advanced on both sides , but it was not decided either way . The subject to which their attentiou will be directed on next Sunday afternoon , is , whether the industrious classes are sufficiently enlightened to wield the franchise to their own advantage in the event of the Charter becoming the law oi the land immediately ?
At a ? ubuc meeting in the Chartists' Ha ll , on Sunday evening , Mr . Sinclair was called to the chair . Mr . Jobling then delivered a long and eloquent address . Several names were enrolled .

np a public . meeting on Wednesday evening , to take a poll of the votes for each candidate , as they were hoi satisfied with having all their Candidates negatived , as declared by the Chairman on Thursday evening * The CharlistB promised to give their aaswer on Tuesday morning , when Mr .

We have already stated that we cannot spare room for these documents at length . DUBLIN . —The cause of liberty is progressing here ; the worship of mere names is abating . I ^ ie attachment to &ound principle is growing up in its stead . ?* oihing can be better evidence of this than the fact that the deepest interest is now taken by the working classes in the meetings of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association : they attend in great
numbers , and even those who are not members , and to whom the wholesome truths there spoken are in eome degree new , behave with a decorum and earnestness which would have been in vain expected at an earlier period of the Association ' s existence . Great praise is due to the indomitable exertions and pa-tient perseverance of Messrs . O'Higgins , Dyett , and others , who have so boldiy confronted ignorance , prejudice , and persecution . On Sunday last , the following resolution w * b brought forward by Mr . Patrick 0 'HijjKins , on which a very spirited debate ensued : — Resolved— " That in order to obtain justice for Ireland and repeal the Union , we , electors of the city
of Dublin , whose names are hereunto subscribed , do hereby solemnly and individually declare e » eh for himself and on his own behalf , that he will not vote for any candidate for the representation of this city in parliament , who shall decline or refuse to give a pledge , in writing , that he will support no administration but one that will give its avowed and official advocacy to the great and permanent measures contained and set forth in the document entitled the 'People ' s Charter . ' -rizi—Universal Suffrage , Tote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Electoral Districts , Abolition of the Property
Qualification , Payment of Representatives , and the Repeal of that atrocious measure , the Legislative Union , which is no onion except that of abject slavery to tyranny and oppression . " Mr . O'Higgins exhibited several signatures appended to this resolution already , and expressed his full conviction that they could with ease command within their own association fall fifty substantial votes , which would soon make both Whig and Tory faction civil and respectful , inasmuch as that nnmber of electors would be sufficient to turn any election in Dublin . Several speakers addressed the meeting , and the question was adjourned .

—^ T ^ ^ ^^ # ^ Fv ^ ppw \ SADDLEWOKTH . DEATH FROM WANT AND STARVATION . Considerable excitement has been created in the parish of Saddleworth during the last eight or ten days , owing to the following circumstances : —On Friday week as the Rev . Thomas Sturgis Mills , county magistrate , and one of the Deputy Lieutenants for the West Riding of the County of York , was returning from Oldham to his own residence at Dobeross , he was stopped near Waterhead Mill , by some females who informed him that a Lucy Millingwood , an oat-door pauper of the township of Spotland , had been delivered of an illegitimate child at the Tillage of Waterhead Mill , and that she was then in dying circumstances owing to neglect and want of the common necessaries of life ; which information , on enquiry , was found to be too correct , and the unfortunate woman expired on Sunday morning last . The ReT . Thomas Milk immediately gave

orders for an inquest to be held to enquire into the Cause of the nnfortunate woman ' s death . Waterhead Mill is a small village on the bor Aers of the counties of Lancaster and the W-st Riding of Yorkshire , about two miles from Oldham and eighteen from Hudderefield ; a considerable portion of it being in Lancashire , and only a small section in Yorkshire . The unfortunate w 6 man . when living , resided in that part whioh is in Yorkshire , in the division of Quiokmere , in the parish ef Saddleworth . The inquest was held before George Dyson , gentleman , ooroner for Halifax , and a very respectable jury , at the house of Mr . Robert Tweedale , the Gardeners' Arms , Waterhead Mill , on Monday evening last .
The first witness examined was Thomas Bradshaw , an old man , 77 years of age , father of the deceased . He stated his daughter was delivered on the 1 st day of October ; they had no doctor , but they got a woman to attend her at the time of delivery . She only visited her once after . His daughter got through the trying time as well as could be'expected , and for a week seemed to be recovering . After then , she was attacked with dropsy , and suffered very much . Tlie witness then waited On the relieving officer , and begged of him to order a doctor to attend bis daughter , but he refused . He then wished him to take her into the workhouse ,
and this also he refused to do , except they would bring her to the workhouse without any expense to the town . The overseer gave him a recommendation to the dispensary ( at Rochdale ) , but the medical officers refused to prescribe for her , without peeing her . One of them went to the overseer to see if he would pay them for a medical visit , but the overseer refused to do this , and the officer returned to the witness , and told him that as the overseer would not pay for a visit they could 1 not attend . He said if his daughter had not some medicine from somewhere , she would die . The Doctor replied , " SHE MIGHT DIE , FOR IT WAS NOTHING TO HIM ! ! I" Witness next
aopliedto the Select Yestry , ( or Board of Guardians , ) then sitting in Rochdalo , tolling the state of his daughter , aud they gave him TWO SHILLINGS to remove her to the workhouse with . He next applied to the Guardian of Saddleworth , who wrote to the overseer of Spotland , and advised tlie old man to g ( t a medical certificate , stating the situation cf his daughter . He did so . Mr . Leach , surgeon , granted the required certificate . He presented the same to the overseer , or relieving officer , but still waa treated with contempt . In answer to questions by the jury , he stated that they had 4 s . per week allowed from the parish , and had to go to Rochdale , ( seven miles ) every week , for tho same .
Mr . Leach , surgeon was next examined . He stated that he had called upon the deceased about a month after her delivery , and gave her some medicine , and that under his treatment she recovered a little . He asked the family to get him a parish order , saying he could not continue to attend her without some small remuneration ; they promised to do so , and acquaint him with the result . He did not hear from them again till about ten days before her death , when he was presented with an order from the relieving officer of the parish of Saddleworth to attend her ; he atain attended her and found that Bhe was considerably worse than when he was called in the first time , and in a few days after she was a corpse . Mr . Leach then said , " the house was so bad , so filrby , so low , and so damp , that I think , however medically attended , if she had not had a nurse to
clean away tho filth from the floor , and clean her person , she would not have recovered . 1 think her decease was much accelerated for want of medical attendance . I made a post morrem examination of the body , and found the liver very much enlarged , and interspersed with tubercles . The right lung was also extensively diseased and interspersed with tubercles . Considerable adhesion had taken place against the ribs . The abdomen contained about two gallons of water , and the chest about two quarts . I should say the remote cause of death was inflamation of the right lung . The proximate cause , consumption , owing to damp house , bad air , filth , and insufficient nourishment . If she had been iu a more comfortable bed , a good dry house , and properly attended , death would have been ( most probably ) a considerable time prevented . "
Ann Hendriok , sitter of deceased , was next examined—I Btopped Mr . Mills last Friday night but one , as he was returning from Oldham , described the situation of my sister , and bagged of him to interfere in her behalf ., I took the child to its father to try to get some relief from him , but could not succeed . I then sent to Rochdale ; the committee were not sitting at Rochdale ; they were that day at Bacup . I called on one of the overseers , I do not know his name , —it is Edmund — , I do not know what—aud begged of him to take the child into the workhouse . He recommended me to another overseer , a Mr . Whittaker ; but would not have anything to do with the child . I went to Whittaker ; he also refused to take the child into the workhouse , and I had to bring it home with me again . I went again last Wednesday , and took the child with me to Mr . Stott , the overseer of Spotland ; Mr . Stott took the child into the workhouse , and gave me a note to Mr . Plait , telling him . to treat the case as one of his own parish .
Mr . Wrigley , Chief Constable of Saddleworth , Fworn , —On Saturday , the 10 th instant , Mr . Mills requested me to watt on Mr . Platt , saying that an application had been made to him respecting a poor woman at Waferhead Mill , said to be dying through neglect , and that I was to say that he ( Mr . Mills ) would remain at homo till five o ' clock , and if he ( Mr . Platt ) would get another magistrate , ho would then take his clerk , and would go to Waterhead Mill , to take the woman ' s deposition . I ? aw Mr . Platt , and delivered the message ; he did not know whether he could wait on Mr . Mills or not , but would see , saying he had several parties to see at home , some by appointments ; that he bad given an order for a doctor to attend the woman .
James Garlick , constable , Waierhead Mill . —Last Monday , Mr . Mills called upon me , and wished me to see Lucy Millingwood , and report her state to him atDobcros 8 the day following . I called and found her in bed in a very distressed state ; she appeared very dropsical . Her &kin seemed ready to burst . The house floor was in a bad state . I think there was sufficient clothes on the bed to keep her warm . She did not complain of being starved ; the bed clothes seemed tolerably clean . She complained of b » ing short of food ; a child apparently about six
years old , was making some thin porridge or gruel ; but very little of it . I reported to Mr . Mills on Monday morning , the 13 th instant . He sent me to Mr . Platt , and told me to say to him that when he sent a message he must attend to it . Mr . Platt replied he would , 60 far as he thought right and just . Mr . Platt also ordered me to see four female paupers who live near , and order them to wait in rotation upon deceased , to attend to her wants , and make her as comfortable as they could . They waited on her till she died .
Jas . Stansficld . overreerof Qnick Mere ^—I have been at the house of deceased once , perhaps three weeks since . She lay iu a very miserable state in a dirty , damp place , I should say not fit for a dog to be in . 1 told Mr . Platt I thought she was not attended to as she . ought to be . This would be about the second instant . Coroner— -Did not you do anything for her ? Overseer—No . Coroner—Why not ? Overseer—I do not know that I have any power to act . Coroner—Not in cases of extbemb necessity ? Overseer—No . 1 do not know that I have any power at all to ant , £ YtN IS cases op extreme NECESSITY . Coroner—I now tell you that you have power , and not only so , but you areresponsible for not exercising that power . '
Overseer—I have consulted a magistrate upon the subject , and yet I believe that I have not the power to act . Mr . Mills , a magistrate—In Saddleworth we are under a peculiar Act , 3 Geo . IV . And the Act is very dubious upon the subject . I think the overseers have only power to recommend to the Guardian to relieve , but in this ca ^ -e , on my own authority , I ordered Mr . Stanstield to engage a nurse , and 1 would be responsible . Overseer—Mr . Mills , last Thursday , ordered me to engage a nurse . Coroner—Did you do so ? , Overseer—No . I took no steps to procure one .
Foreman—Mr . Platt had ordered Garlick to procure a nurse at that time , which he had done . Mr . Siott , overseer of the township of Spotland , sworn—Lucy Miiliugwood has been a long time a pauper of our township . In August 1839 , we took her and one child into , the workhouse , the chHd was about three years old , her only child . On the 15 th of May 1840 , she left the workhouse , we gave hex ten shillings aud allowed her one shilling per week . In October 1840 , we allowed her one shilling and sixpence per week . September 1841 , we allowed her two shillings . In August 1842 , we allowed her two shillings and sixpence ; and on the 11 th of
October , four shillings per week . She was receiving pay from leaving the workhouse till the time of her death . Her father generally came for the money . We did not allow her any addition to the four shillings per week during her last sickness except once two shillings . The father has applied for a dootor several times , but I refused one . We do not allow any of our paupera a dootor . We pay a certain amount to the dispensary , and give recommendations to paupers to attend , but do not do anything dtadoctors and rents we never allow . We do not expect any other township . to support our poor . Coroner—Why did you refuse to allow her a doctor !
Stott—Because the Board give me orders not to provide a doctor for any pauper . Coronert-Have you a written , or a verbal order t Stott—A verbal one . Coroner—Had you any order respecting the deceased ! Stott—Her father frequently applied to the board , but they never gave me orders to act differtntly to her than the general role .

Stott—I don ' t know , it is « long way for one thing , and having as much to do as I can , I could not come over my self . Foreman—If Stott believed the story , he ought either to have , come himself to see the woman , or have written to Mr . Platt .
Juror—Haa this woman ever been paid by Saddleworth relieving officers ? Stott—Yes . Juror—And charged to your township A Stott—Yes . Juror—Why was that method of relieving discontinued ? Stott— I do not know , perhaps Mr . Platt does , I remitted him the balances by post offioe order . Mr . Platt , relieving officer or guardian of Saddleworth parish , sworn . 1 first relieved the deceased in February , 1841 , and discontinued in Deo . 1841 . I do not remember why we discontinued relieving her . I think a balance was due to us of betwixt three and four pounds . I wrote to Sroit ; I do not at present remember the contents of the letter , but I was not
authorized to relieve her again , till a week before she died . In October last Lucy ' s father came to me r < questing me to write for an advance of one shilling per week of pay . I wrote to Mr . Stott , but did not receive any answer . Old Bradshaw told me they were willing to tako her into the work house . He said she was not fit to be removed , and if ehe was they would not allow any thing to remove her with . I advised him to take a medical certificate from Mr . Leach , stating her situation ; he said he would . I did not hear again from them till he applied for a suspended order ; I told him ho had better wait a little and I would write again to Stott , and see if he would not do something for them . I did write to Stott , and , in reply he authorized me to treat them as one of our own parish . I did not give any relief ; none was asked .
Mr . Leach , rec lied—I granted a certificate stating dece'iBOd was in an unfit stale to be removed , but cannot tax my memory whether it was in October , or beginning of November . Mr . Btott , recalled—Did you receive a certificate from Mr . Leach , stating that deceased was unfit to be removed to the workhouse 11 Stott—I did ; Coroner—And what did you then do ? Stott—I laid it before the board , aud did not receive any additional orders . Coroner—The certificate was laid before the vestry ! ' : ; / ¦ : ' . '¦¦' : : .

Coroner—You receive an order-from a doctor and pay no attention to it V StOtt—No . :
Coroner—Then allow me'to'tell you , if this system goes on , you will some day most probably find yourselves in a very awkward predicament . It certainly is the worst system of relieving that ever came uncier r ay notice . I have a very extensive district , and sometimes find myself bound to condemn the conduct of parish ofiicere , but this is one of the worst'case ' s that ever came before me . I cannot help saying that it is a case of very gross neglect . The Jurors , after consulting together for some time , agreed to the following verdict : — " Died by the visitation of God , accelerated by the want of earlier medical and other attendance , and the want of proper attention and sufficient nourishment ; and the Jury strongly censure the conduct of the Overseers and officers of the township of Spotland , iu not ascortaiuing the situation of the deceased , after repeated representations .

Murder of a Wife by her Husband . —A murder—the murder of a wife by her own husband—was perpetrated at Glasgow on Sunday afternoon , under the following circumstances : —Between otie and two o ' clock , a man , named Charles M'Kay , who was in th&employment of a ham-curer , in the city , and- who resided in the house of a Mrs . Tinney , or M'Kenzio , in the Old Wynd , disagreed with his wife , and while she was standing at the window he seized a hamknife and stabbed her in tho left leg , nearly at the groin . The woanded woman immediately fell on tho floor and never spoke afierwardfl . Medical aid was instantly called in , but it was of no avail ; and , in the meantime , the policeman on the station , having heard of the deed , came and apprehended M'Kay , who had not , subsequent to the commission of the horrid deed , made any attempt to escape
His ill-fated wife , who was only 27 years of age . died within an hour and a half afterwards ; and when the fatal crisis was announced to the murderer ( who was then in the police office ) he was seized with tho utmost horror and remorse . Both M'Kay and his wife had been out drinking in the morning , and their quarrel , which ended in murder , was about a very trifling circumstance . M'Kay is about the same age as his victim , only 27 years old : So soon a 9 his wife was reported to the authorities to be dead , the body was carried to the police office , where it lies for medical inspection . The knifo with which the wound was inflicted was brought away by the policeman . ; It is a butcher ' s knife much ground down , and very sharp at the point ; aud it is evident from the result , that it must have divided a vital vein or artery . M'Kay was to undergo an examination before the sheriff on Mouday .
ShOCKINO MunPER NEAR DUBLIN .- DcBLIN , Dec . 19 . —At an early hour yesterday morning , the body of a man was found in a burning lime-kiln , at Miltown , - near this' city The discovery was made by a boy , named Patrick Tynam , who ia in the employment of a dairyman , residing near Classon ' sbridge , at the western extremity of the village of Miltown . He stated that he proceeded about six o ' olock in the morning to the lime-kiln , which is immediately adjoining his master ' s premises , for the purpose of warming a quantity of brewer ' s wash for the cows over the fire with whioh it was filled . There was , at the time , no appearance of daylight , and he perceived no trace of any person near the kiln . After giving the wash to the cows , he again went but of the stables , when he immediately perceived a strong smell of burning flesh proceeding
from the kiln . He says it at once occurred to him that some of his employer's ducks might hire fallen into the fire , and he accordingly hastened towards the door of the kiln , ou opening whioh he was herrified at beholding the dead body of a man , with the throat frightfully cut , stretched on the top of the burning mass . Assistance was instantly procured , and the corpse taken from the fire , in which , from its appearance , it could not have been lying many minutes . The boy asserts positively that not more than a quarter of an hour elapsed between his first and second visit to the kiln , and in the interim he heard no noise and saw no persons passing near the place . An inquest was held thiB day , and the ipquiry is now in progress . A man who works in a factory in the vicnity has been arrested upon suspicion . It is said that the deceased was a tailor , and that ho has been recognised by some persons in that trade . ¦ ¦ ' . ' -. ' ¦ ' ¦ ¦ . ¦' . ¦ ' . ' ¦ '¦ ¦ . " ¦ ¦ "¦ v ¦ ¦ ' -
Mysterious Murder at Ilkley . —A dreadful murder was perpetrated in a field near this place on the night of Friday last . The first discovery ot the matter took place in the following manner . A person named Hardwick , a house watcher , employed by Mr . Myddleton to watch bia house and that of his steward , Mr . Burgess , at a liitle past twelve o ' clock on the . Friday night , heard a noise which he could hot liken to anythittrirai a thumping , and a human voice crying out ^ TWlp me , " or " Help me up , " or words similar to that . When the gamekeeper and his watchers joined him at the Lodge , some time after one o ' clock , he informed them of what he had heard , and the whole of them , six in number , went , to the spot as nearly as
Hardwick could direct . After some search they found the deceased laid on his side and not quite dead . His hat was slouched over his face in such a manner as to conceal the fact that he waa at all injured , and at first they thought that he was merely intoxicated , baton removing the hat to see who it was and assist him ; up , one of the watchers put his bands under the head of the unfortunate man , and discovered what was his real state , by the startling and horrible circumstance , that his fingera were instantly covered with gore , and sunk into the head ! A messenger was instantly despatched for a horse and cart to Mrs . Hawk 9 Worth' $ farm-house , the nearest to the place , but before it arrived , the man , whose only motion had been tha convulsive lifting
of an arm and a leg , accompanied by deep groans , Ceased to live . This : being the case , they were afraid to remove the bodv until they had seen a constable about the matter , and sent for one . Having got orders they removed it to Ilkley , net having up to that time recognized the features ; but on getting to the village , it was discovered to be the body of a labourer named William Hustwick , who resided at Beamsley , and had been at Ilkley the previous night , in company with a person named Hey , a wheelwright , also of Beamsley , and with whom be had gone home at a late period of the evening . The first thought whioh struok tho ? e who found the body was that probably Hey also had been murdered , and they
sent off some of their party to ascertain whether he had reached his residence or hot , who , dn going to his house , found that he waa in bed . Some conversation passed between them in which be stated that he accompanied Hustwick on his way home as far as the lime-kilns , where the ilatter became stupid , or very drunk , and refusing to go any further , lay down upon the ground . He then lefe him laid , * n d proceeded home , which place he did not reach before two o ' clock . In consequence of this , suspicion fell upon him , and he was apprehended on the charge of having murdered Hastwiok A . stout hazel atiak , wbieh the deceasedhad had with him when laat seen , waa found beside his body , within

reach of his hand , and in Bueh a position as that no blood from his head could reach it without a change of position , * and still thia , on examination , proved to be covered with soft blood , and had » i the end some flesh and skin and human hairs . The hat had covered the weunds on the head , and had received the blood whioh flowed from them ; and when taken off , was found to have a very large quantity in it , which the keepers poured out on . the ground . There was no appearance of struggling that could bq discovered , though the nature of the ground ( springy pasture land ) would tend to obliterate any effectually , in a very short time . There had
not been any dragging of the body , but where i < had fallen in the first instance , it had laid until death , as the marks of blood were confined to the triangular space already spoken , of . An inquest on the body was held on Monday last , before Thomas Brown , Esq ., of Skipton , at the Rose aud : Crown , Ilkley , when the gamekeepers and watchers were examined . Hey V clothes were also produced , and on the shirt and coat were very slight marks aa of blood , but there was no direct evidence to criminate him , and the Jury returned a verdict of '' Wilful Murder against some persoa or personsunknown .

HUDDEBSFIEZiD . —Daring Robbrry . —On Sunday last , in the afternoon , a young man named Dyson , along with his wife , residing at Lindley , left home for a short time . In their absence , the house was entered and money , in paper and gold , taken to the amount of about ^ £ 60 . Up to the present : time , the depredators have eluded , the vigilance of the police . : Caution to Cart Drivers . —On Tuesday last , about four o ' clock , a cart that was loaded stood in King-street for a short time previous to starting home . The driver had occason to leave it for half a minute , not more , and ia that short time some person had successfully got away with one whole cheese , which , as is usually the case , was thrown carelessly into the cart . Neither the ' cheese nor its \ conveyor have b&en heard of since . On the same evening ,
informationwas given to the police by a man who stated he had been robbed of his watch . He described the persons in whose company he was at the time . Towards midnight , Messrs . Danson and Clough , police officers , repaired to a notorious lodging house , wher . ! they found the very men who had committed the outrage . The men , rather , than be taken , fought desperately , and , but for the timely arrival of two of the night watch , it was thought they would have escaped . They . were , at length secured , ; and conveyed to tho prison . The watch was found upon one of the prisoners . We understand the police have been very anxious to secure these men , from the fact that they were in the habit of visiting Huddorsfield periodically , : and during their stay robberies were always committed .
The Rivai . Fiddlers .- — " Two of a Trade can never Agree . " —The truth of this old adage is just now most strikingly exemplified in the town of Huddersfield , where there exists two societies bolh established for the avowed purpose of prodiicing and promoting harmony ' . amongst the inhabitants . One of them bears the cognomen ' of-the . "Choral Society "' and the othersportB the patronymioof the "Social Harmonic Band . " The former has been in existence for the longest period , and at present holds its meetings in the Philosophical Hall ; the latter is a society formed amongst [ a few young men a few years ago , and meets for practice &c , at the Hall of Science . I'he proficiency attained by the" Harmonic Band " in the short time they have been in existence , does
them great credit , and at once bespeaks the enthusiasm with which they have been animated , and the indefati # ablene 6 s with which they have applied themaelves to tho learning , how to produce sweet and harmonic sounds . Indeed , they have worked so diligently , and improved so rapidly , as to become formidable rivals to the oldest established corps of musicians in the town or neighbourhood ; and this has excited the jealousy and Jre of the acting Committee of the " Choral Sootlty , " who have adopted a novel and most disreputable mode of exacting revenge . It appears that there are some amongst the old society- who have witnesssed with pleasure the efforts made by the members of the new one to
conquer the most difficult art of musio ; and they have ( with honour to them be it spoken ) rendered assistance to them on several occasions ; and latterly they have been regularly engaged by the " Harmonic Band" to aid them in their public pcrformancea To this course we should think' thera could not be the slightest objection , but , the " Choral Society" have found one . ^ They have determined to exclude from their books any aud every musician who renders the slightest assistance to the . " Harmonic Band" ! They have , in fact , determined that not one of their members shall be at liberty to accept an engagement to per-¦
form , unless he first aska leave of the . Cttorai Society . " And this to throw difficulties in the way of a number of young men , whose objtct and laudable endeavours ought to have secured for them the highest praise and the most active co-operation ! This determination on the part of the "Choral Society , " resulting , as it does , from the most paltry of all jealousies , is discreditable to it in the highest degree . It is a crying disgrace ; and we iiopo the members of it , whose right to sell their musical talent to any purchaser is thus interfered witb , will have more spirit than to submit to such mean and tyrannical dictation .

London Corn Exchange , Monday , Dec . 19 . — Since our report on this day se ' nnigbt , as well as for onr market this morning , the arrivals of Wheat of home growth from Essex , Suffolk , and Kent , have been on a moderate scale , but of fair average quality . The stands to-day were rather scantily fined with samples , while the attendance of both London and country dealers , was not very numerous . For thefinert parcels of both Red and White we had a fair , but by no means a brisk inquiry , of prices quite equal to those noted on Monday last ; but tbe miqdliDg and inferior kinds , though not cheaper , hung on band . The imports of fortign Wheat have been amalL There waia
fair retail business doing in fine qualities , and late rates were , in most instances , supported . The supply of Barley was again extensive , nearly 12 , 000 qruwters having come to hand . The best malting aorta supported their value , without much difficulty ; but grinding nnd distilling sorts were very heavy and the tem $ cheaper . Malt was in fair arrival , while t&e « ale for that article was alow , at ! ato currencies . From all parts few Qats have been received , yet as mc * t ef the buyers / held off for future arrivals , the demand WM , on the whole , alow , at last week's figures . In Oat » , coder lock , scarcely a transaction was reported Beam and Peas were again dull . Both town and country made Flour met a dull inquiry . . ; .
Borough Hop Market , —For the best East au 4 Mid Kent pockets , we have again to report a steady enquiry , at full rates of currency ; but in all other kinds or hops exceedingly little is passing .
