FRANCE . Snaps jlhd Mcbdeb . — -The Gazetu den Tribunaux states that on Wednesday last a deplorable event canse 3 » considerable excitement amongst the inhabitants of tbe house So . 2 , in the Rue des FiHesdc-Cal ? aire > Two young persons , lately married , were found dead from suffocation in their bed-chamber . The husband , Trbo was a cloekmaker , sent his apprentice -with a message to a distant part of the town in order to Tiare time to carry Ma project into execution . "When tie apprentice returned , he found the door closed , arid after ha-ring in rain knocked for some time he determined to apply to a locksmith . When 1 &L . 49 W was opened the unfortunate couple were found dead on their bed , locked in eaehoihers ' ssEms . of
A large chafing dish , oout&Jnir ^ j the remains a quantity of charcoal , -wag found in the centre of the chamber . The cause , of thi& double suicide has not been ascertained . Their furniture showed that they ¦ were both affluent and orderly . The same journal states that a considerable multitude assembled on Saturday last at the Court of Assize of Melun . The serious nature of the charge to be inrestigated , tne taleirt of the public prosecutor , and the Dumber of objects which were to be produced in evidenceamorist the rest a large earthen dish , in which was preserved the head of the Tictim—stimulated the curiosity of the inhabitants of Melun . The farts , as staled by the Attorney-Goneral , were as follows : — An agea woman , named Neven , a widow , without children , having coueeived a warm affection fur a family named 3 lerger , x > ld Ler pri-perty and divided it amoEjst them , reserving for her own u ? e an annuity of 200 f . and a capital of o'Ji . rf . About eight
months nftv'r the widow Neven went to reside with the family of th * Mergers , cnrii-hins The family with her money ; and by her attention to their affairs , she penciled , the Tictim of a horrible murder . On the I 9 tli of July last the lifeless body , of the widow . Nevcn was found in a well , attache *! to the 'hoTise of the Mt'nrei ? . At first it was , eonsiddrixl thai her death was the efipet of accident , but on a closer cxammation it was discovered that she had been shot through the head . Suspicions tlien fell upon the son of Merger , who had remained at home alone with the widow on the day of her death , and who was known io have purchased pocket pistols , which fact he denied . A long chain of circumstantial evidence iaving been established , Merger the youmrer was found guilty of the murder of the widow . Neven , and sentenced to hard labour for life . He was removed from court uttering the most solemn protestations of innocence .
Distress xa Pjoiis . —It would seem that every yt-ar at the approach of winter the Parisian operatives suffw severely , and this year the risrorous season is snnounred by" facts which ought to awaken the- solicitadi ? of the Administration . The withdrawal of > o large a proportion of the deposits lodged in the saTinus ' -banks : the state of the hospitals which are encumbered with sick ; the extraordinary number of children , women , and even operatives , seeking for employment , who are found begging in the streets of Paris ; all these facts demonstrate the existence of sreat distress .
SPAIN . PBOGBESS OF THE IXSUBBECTIOX . The advices from Spain fully confirm the intelligence which we were enabled to give last week of the rising of Zurbano in Old Castile , Subsequent accounts , though they are by no means full , enable us to state that the insurrection is rapidly extending . The news produced a great sensation in Madrid , though the Government had endeavoured , by declinations in die Chamber , to ^ Trm-nUli its im portance . Ifarvaei stated , in reply to tjuestions addressed to him , that Zurbano was merely at the head of a few brigand > , and that he expected a few hours would terminate the rebel ' s career . The following article , from the Journal det bvbau of Saturday , contains all that wa > known ai Paris or on the frontier , of the proceedings of Zurbano - . —
At the tirst news 01 thr march of Zurban > -, the Captain Gt-aera ) < Ji Borgy >> marched at the head of two battaZions .

He here added about 12 or 1-5 horsemen to his b-jxi together vritli a few young men whom he coinjwlled t-. join Ms rroop , which he designat-J b > thr talc " Arm \ Jor the restoration of the constitution .

IjOwer Arragon , and give the lie completely to the stories circulated by the Spanish Consul at Bayonne , of hisliaving taken refuge in Navarre , On the 18 th General Zurbano and his troops entered the town of Soria , where he was well received by the inhabitants . He , however , found that previous to his arrival the political chief of the place nad issued a bando , ordering that Zurbano should be shot , if taken prisoner , upon his simple identity being proved . Zurbano , upon this , ordered the political chief himself to be shot , as an example to all persons in anthority not to publish such atrocious and santruinarv mandates .
These orders were at once carried into execution . A battalion of the regiment of Saragossahas ^ ronounwt / , and gone over to Zurbano , and it is expected that the example will be followed by more of tbe troops . Information has also been received that a rising lias taken place in the province of GtripuBcoa in favour of the constitutional cause . Two towns , Ascotia and Aspetia , have pronounced , and General lturbide lias placed himself at the head of the movement . It is reported that a further rising has taken place in the province of Galicia , which is known to be in a state of disaffection .
Madrid , Nov . 39 . —General Araoz , a distinguished officer , has been arrested and thrown into prison , for no other apparent reason than that he was some years ago the commanding officer of General Prim ; General Ramirez , though with the weight of eighty years upon his shoulders , is ordered off to the Canary Islands , and , on his remonstrating , is arrested , thrust into a coach , and carried to the castle of St . Catulina , at Cadiz , till an opportunity offers of sending him beyond the seas . Even ill health is no protection arainst Mich men as the airents of Xurvaez in Madrid .
General Espinuza , in the face of' a medical report tiiat hi' is unlit to be removed , is sent off under an esi-tirt to 1 ' ono lvii-o , -while General Arristaz < iba ] is sent in a similar sununavv manner t >> Cuba . Such proceedings would , in any i-a > f , lx > harsh and arbitrary : but in the pre ^ c-nt instances , tbeiv being i i fan no charge against the ofiiivrs in question , and no reason for t-bvir arrest and bani > htneiit , hut a vjurut 1 and guilty fear on the part of the Government , their tli-j > ort : ition cap only Ik 1 looked upon as the gro ^ est tyrannv and oppression .
Proii . —The greatest attention wa > still excited by the eoiidemnaiion of tScncral Prim to an imprisonment of six years In a fnrtr ,-ss out of the Pejunsula . The rotilt of an appeal t « the Supreme Council o ! War and Marine wa * anxiously awaited . State of the Ix > rBKKrrio . \ . —Tlie silence of the Freut-h U-legraph in regard to Zurkum ' s movements —the false inteUisoiuT propagated by tbe Paris Ministerial journals , and notably by the Jhb-itt , Globe , and Pr ? .-if—the fact of seven provinces in Spain being declared in a state of siege—the lm , i'lo ? of divers Captains-General , decreeing the penalty of death to Ik "
enforced at their will and pleasure—the cmrl and oppressive conduct of the French authorities at the frontiers towards all liberal Spaniards—all these matters , we say , indicate pretty clearly that the insurrection is progressing , and that the cause of liberty is gaining strength . The more Narvaez boasts of being able to put down the revolt , the more are we satisfied that the reign of his power is at an end . "We cannot forget the significant language of Meudizabel when addressing recently one of the attaches of the Spanish Legation in Paris— " /»» three irmulht' time you wV rtcsivt vour order * from : «<' . "
The Senthhelle dff A / rrtietv , in announcing the movement of the two towns , Castillo de Echo , and Castillo dc Anso , adds that the insurgents had disarmed 200 troops of the line , in addition to the carbineers and Custom-house officers . The same journal also declares that the valley of TVna has aJso made its movement .

Schamil . who was rather short of provisions , vonsentvd to this , on eondition that , durmg llie interruption of hostilities , the Russians should furnish his camp . with food : and on these terms an armistice was concluded up to the day of Kassim { 7 th November ) , when the Daghestecs intend to renew tbe war -with augmented vigour . A letter from that part of the world states , that the losses of the Russians , between killed , wounded , and missing , amount to b' 0 , 000 men ; whilst those of the mountaineers amount to 12 , 000 . This may possibly be true ; but had the numbers been more moderate , one would have been more likely to give credit to the assertion . Certain it is , that the forces of Russia have been concentred in the neighbourhood of Daghestan . In fact the lines of the Jvoubar are now so
badly guarded , that the Circassians of Abazek and Cabardaare constantly crossing the border , attacking Russian villages , and bearing off rich spoils in slaves , horses , cattle , sheep , and other property .

POLAND . More Russian Tyranny . —It is said that the Emperor of Russia has issued an order by which all natives of Poland are prohibited from marrying till they have completed their thirtieth year . UNITED STATES . GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE AMERICAN DEMOCKACY . —ELECTION OF MR . POLK AS PRESIDENT . ; Liverpool , Saturday . — The steam-ship Great Western , Captain Matthews , arrived in the Mersey shortly before noon . She left the wharf at Newr York at fifteen minutes past two o ' clock on the afternoon of the Othinst ., and made this port in thir teen days sixteen hours and a half , the snoitest pas-Sage she has accomplished during the season . She brought thirty-one passengers . ' The contest for the Presidency , esteemed so doubtful , is decided in favour of Polk , foremost in whose policy are the annexation of Texas to the United
States , the support of the institution of ( slavery , and , to use his own words , " such a tariff for revenue as will yield a sufficient amount to the Treasury as will defray fclie expenses of Government , economically administered . " Other questions are likewise involved in this decision given by the citizens of the United States—the bank question , the distribution of the surplus revenue , affecting the repudiating States , Native Americanism , and other minor matters . According to the New York flcrald , the tariff may be . somewhat modified at the next session , though it never can be essentially altered ; no hank , no distribution can take place for the present ; now negotiations may 1 h > opened for the annexation of Texas , but as the Senate will be Whig for two vcarx
at least , nothing can 1 k > done effectually as regards that matter for some time to come . Tins journal regards the Whig party as utterly and forever < 1 mlfcmdi'd , and conceives that o : i their ruins will spriiiii up the American Republicans . In another article it reviews the eii ' ect oi the election upon the repudiating States in respect of the settlement in the negative of the question of distributing the surplus revenue among the States—a measure of great importance both to this country and to the United States ; and considers it a result most fortunate for the character of the country and the prospects <> f the stockholder , a > compelling them to depend solely upon themselves in order to redeem their character .

If , there lure , the figures of the above table are correct ( and we take it , from the Whig New York journals ) , Polk hut requires to carrv one State of not less than seven votes ,
and there are four such , and he is elected . JaniPs K . Polk -k-jis 40 years of ape on the 2 d inbt . We take the following from the . V , ¦••¦ \\> rk Herald of the 8 th inst . : — A Dat or Excitement in New Yobk . — Yesterday wits one of the must eitraordinarj- days ever seen in Ken-York . All the i'riueipu . 1 streets exhibited a popular exciU-meut , whit-h had a character of anxietv mure than anything eke . to a degree aJtoprctlier unexaini > l « - « l . In the morning tlie Whip jmpers rnmc out very lioldly , and claimed the State of New York for Mr . Clay , thereby giving him the Presidency . Side by side with these journals the ultra-democratic journals also came out , ami claimed the Suite in the same way . by their invincible fitfuriiiK for Mr . Polk . Tbe respective readers of those journals sal . lied out in the morning—and » beautiful morning it wa « —the sunshine bright and warm , and the air balmy anil inspiriting—and as tliej encountered each other , thcro could 7 » e at once seen a difference of opinion—a discussion
—a debate—a comparison of vote-, —and all that varut . v of gesture and commotion which indicated unsettled uiimls . iu both parties after x" )> if ? through the discussion .

At a wry lou estimate it mav he ri-ckoiicd that sc \ er ; d millions ar < pending in tliis cit % on tli < - nsult of local •• lectimis , and also of the general dec . tion ; and if we include in this estimate the j > robab ! c aim units pending in the various cities and towns throughout the ciiuntrj , we should not be at all surprised if ei ^ ht or ten millions vverp to change hands in a few days on tbe general result being ascertained . This is , perhaps , one of tlie . weightiest reasons which can be assigned for the iiitciisi' anxiety which characterizes the present excitement —an excitement visible in the countenances of all ; an excitement differing altogether from that which precedes anelecUon . when all is hope and bu « vanc > .
In the streets the scenes were often indescribably amu-sin ; :. Throughout the whole morning , at every Corner , group * , uvn- < -. > llfete « l , listening tv t »« or three or : u .-les debating the probabilities of Claj or Polk carrying ' the State of New York . At one comur you would sec a . venerable g .-ntleman with grey hairs , but a bright eye , leaning on hi .-, crutch , weighing the probabilities of the case , as if he were a . judge of the Supreme Court , and deciding-with the most consummate dignity in the world that it was highly probable thut Mr . Clay would gut tin-State , and again that it was very probable that Mr . Polk would get it : In another corner some attache of a newspaper—somr half-and-half editor would be arrested on his way and asked what his opinion was , and what was tlic character of the returns which he had in his pocket that morning .
Throughout the day both parties continued to claim the State most manfully : but both admitted that the vote « as extremely close , aud that the probability was , that a few hundreds would determine it either way . In some quarters tlie Whigs were blazing away , in paroxysms of rage against the " natives , " for cheating them out of a large majority in New York , after they had manfully and decently abandoned their own ticket and gone for the " natives . " ll appears that the Whigs had calculated on nt least from six to nine thousand majority in this city , in consequence of the coalition with the " uathes , " and they
are now extremely furious in their abuse of their respectable allies , whom they accuse of being cheats , rcereanfc-, and rogues , for not voting—as they had given the WJugs reason to suppose—for Mr . Clay On the other hand , others of the same party were equally loud , and indignant in their denunciations of the abolitionists— ' the fanatics" — " the egregious blockheads , " who wen- sticking l > y their own man instead of voting for Mr . Cla ^ . All sorts of vengeance were indeed vowed by tin * Whigs against the abolitionists , because they had thrown away their votes on > urh a man as Birncy , instead of electing such . ijrloriou ? . " ii-Ui-r" as Henry Clav .
Throughout the afternoon it was generally agreed that the \ utf uf th < r State of New "York for Mr . Clay would depend ol ! tin * abolition tote in tin .- western counties ; hut » . hoenrgot tin * State , it was agreed that it would be b \ oiih a . thousand or two—thereby realizing the prediction we made a long time before the election , that whoever g'it the vote of New York would get the Presidency , i I'p to a late hour in the afternoon the same doubt—the same discussion—the same anxiety—the same care-worn aspect —and the same immense number of groups were visible , particularh in Vi all-street , iu the business districts , in some parts of Broadwaj , al the hotels , and in nv . vn \
quarters throughout the whole city . About half-past fivt o ' clock in the afternoon the groups moved to the newspaper offices , filling every nook and cranny , and crowding up the streets and side-walks . The Herald office was the scene of great throngs , waiting for the arrival of the steamer from Albany with the decisive intelligence . About half-past six our messengers arrived at the office with the intelligence . It -vvas announced to the crowd that >* eW York had gone for Polk and Dallas , and then such a shout rose np to heaven as we never before heard—some cursing , gome swearing—some hurrahing , as wild as the very fiends themselves .
Altogether this has been a much more interesting and eaciting election than even that which resulted in the triumph of General Harrison ; aad the decision of the State of New York and the Presidency Trill relieve multitudes of a great deal of anxiety , a great deal of uneasiness , and a great deal more money than they can well spare , R-ascaIiLt Doings of the New-York Wmoa . —A * the uses made of popular power at the recent con-

test for the Presidency in America has filled the Tory press of England with loud mouthings against popular rights ; and as foul practices of . every description have been charged upon the Chartist supporters of Polk , we beg to present the enemy with the following account of the manoeuvres of their American partisans . We extract the following from the Democratic Camqaign of the 2 nd November : — Impoktant Detection . — We stop the press to announce the astounding discovery which has just been made of a plot of the Whigs to carry the State by a system of double baelots . We have a package of them before Us , printed on thin paper , procured from their central source of supply , with peculiar marks , and Ingeniously folded with a little flyleaf to catch together , so as to appear but a single uullut , aud to part when thrown down into the ballot box .
They would deceive all but the most vigilant scrutiny . The law is , that when an excess of ballots is found in the box above the number of names on'the poll-list , an equivalent number shall be drawn out by lot—a process by which , in such a case , the Democratic part } alone must suffer . These have been sent uniformly ail urn- tht ; State ; and in counties where the tickets had been already printed , the latter are destroyed , and the fraudulent double ballots substituted . There is no deception nor mistake in this , information . The same system is doubtless extended to other states . It may , perhaps , be too late now to counteract this vile treason ; but wherever this paper may reach in season before the election , we . summon our friends to Ut- on their guard , and to insist thiit the nispi-cturs shall examine each ballot before it goes into the box .
It tho \\ hlgs should cheat the democracy out of the election by such menus , as this , we w ,, ulil not : iti = uer for the consequences .

When the Roorback slander reached Tennessee , everi the Whigs cried out , " Shame , —oh ! for shame . " Of all the slanders ever started against h-hn , this was the most tinlikl tilt truth .

Neville , an Jri-tlmiari ., liVinj , ' on thr island , and at whose house Burgess stopped , received Suit dolliirx reward on tho spot . We subjoin the following partieulai-s : — Burgess , who was apprehended soon after Elder strangled himself \ n the gaol of Boston , in a most miserable condition , in a small island 15 miles from Boston , is now on lilts return , in the custody of John Forester , the officer , to Ku ^ luud .
It appears that when Huvgm escaped fmm the hotel at Naluuit , a small peninsula joined to the main land bv a neck of land about four miles in length , lie rowed in the dark for n considerable time , nnd sit length , after havinp Iwen tossed about , he landed , and made the best of his way to a small cottage in which a poor Irishman and his wife and three children resided . From thence he sent to the waiter ol the hotel at Nahant his keys , with directions to take possession of tho money contained in his bugs ' , and convey it to him . John Forester , who managed the whole * business , with tlie ready usshUwec uf the officers granted bv the authorities , with consummate skill , took care ' to cut off the means of escape by land , and met the bearer of the money on his way to a place of appointment . The bag , which contained £ 120 in gold , and in dollar * and notes £ 468 , was
directly sent back to the hotel , while the pursuit was continued . In the most wretched condition , with no more than a half-crown or a couple of shillings in his pocket , and half naked , the unhappy Burgess , after great exertion , reached another cottage , at tho distance of about eight miles across the water , and there remained under shelter for nearly a ni § ht and day . lie then sent the owner of the cottage with a note to ii Mr . Grant , who had had some transactions with him in a pecuniary way , requesting money . Mr . Grant , who had been duly infoimcd of the forgery and robbery of the Bank of England , immediately gave the information where it could be made most available , and tlic person who knew the place of concealment of tbe i ' ngitivo w : us prevailed u ]> on—but not without a preat deal of persuasion , and a , reward ot ' 3 i ) 0 dollar *—to give him up to the police .
It was evident from the whole of tlie proceedings of Burucss and Elder , after their arrival in America , that they looked with the utmost confidence to permanent security from arrest . Burgcs-.- . _ had been lotl"in" about a ' fortnight at the hotel at Nahant , mid had purcha .-i'd n piece of ground of Mr . Drew , the lar tilord . on which he was about to build a house , and it was w \\\ < nough that before the foundation was laid be pinvhased carpeting , bed-linen , glasses , and other articles of furniture . An iin-ue-t wa-- 'held upon the body of Elder before Mr . Pratt at Koston , and it was stated before the jury that the deceased was found dead in the gaol by strangling himself with his silk handkerchief , the same handkerchief being fastened to the grate of the window of the room of the prison .
The Mormon- ? . — . More troubles amongst the Mormons were anticipated , and it is said that 2 < lO of the sect were encamped within a few miles of Carthage , but for what purpose is as yet-a matter of conjecture . Much excitement- prevailed at Carthage in consequence . It is said thfiit this movement was made by order of' Governor Ford , but this is very improbable . Sidney Ilicdoh has established his branch of the church at Pittsburgh , and publishes a paper there . One of . Sidney Rigdon ' s men had addressed a meetin" of the . sect in New York , and , after a long , ramblfng , and rather incoherent narration , ' descriptive of the early part of Joe Smith ' s career at Nauvoo , the elder went on to speak of a " vision " which Joe had ten days before his death . He and Hiram went out , he said , to the prairie to call on the name of the Lord , and then Joe beheld in vision the tragical scene in "which he was soon to take a part at Carthage gaol . From that moment Joe was an altered man—he lost all spirit , and , as the elder said , " his

couiitenahce fell" from that moment . The elder went on to argue tliat Joe ' s death was ordained of the Lord ; on account of his transgressions—that he did not apostatize , but he " wrought abominations , " was therefore deemed unfit to direct "the kingdom , " and share in its triumphs . The transgression was in introducing the "spiritual wife system . " On this subject it ; was expected that the " elder" would have gone into ! the . details , and exposed it fully . But he contented himself with a general denunciation of itsaid that ! it was universally prevalent at Nauvooand that it was to free " the Church "from that evil
that Sidney Rigdon had taken a separate stand . Elder Winchester called on all the faithful to come out and separate themselves at once from their corrupt brethren at Nauvoo , which was , he said , doomed to destruction , and was fast falling into decay on account of its iniquities . The " Twelve Apostles , " as they call themselves , were very busy at Nauvoo in the very delectable business of defaming and slandering one another . It is estimated that the recent Mormon war will cost the state of Illinois 20 , 000 dols ., and that tlie aggregate expense incurred during the year on account of the Mormons would not fall short of 50 , 000 ) dollars .
CANADA . The Elk ( tioxs—Victory of the Government Paktv—Curious enough , while the States wew agitated from centre to circumference by the Presidential election , the elections in Canada were going on at the same time . The result has been the triumph of the Governor-General ' s party . From the latest rctums we ' iire enabled to state , that 42 Conservatives are elected , 2 'i Radicals , and V doubtful . This leaves JO more returns to come in , but whatever be their nature thev cannot affect the jfcneml dii-ision .
The wiStik seems to be setting in very early this season in-Canada . A heavy fall of snow had occurred , and in maiiv districts the roads were impassable . A ietter ' from ' Buffalo states that the shock of an ••; uth' | uake . which had extended into Canada , had linen felt- and is described by all who heard it as resembling the noi ?* - ' made by a heavy wanaron driven rapidly over frozen ground ; the rumbling preceding and following tlie shock , it says , was smart enough to shake ( windows , stores , and crockery upon tin shelves , jln one instance , it threw down a More , and in another , it cracked the walls of a brick building . It was noticed by persons residing in various places over n territory of at least 100 square mile--, and how much further I have not learned , i MEXICO . Our Mexican advices are very scanty . President Santa Artua was married to Spnora Ihina Dolores Kostjing Gomes , on the 2 nd ult ., in tho National Palace , with all the solemnitv due to the occasion .
TAHITI . Mi / Kf : J- '/ ' . / zr / x .. —We have received ' intelligence from Tahiti , by way of the United States , to July 15 . It appeal's , by a report given by the captain of the whale-ship Martha , which had arrived at Rhode Island , that , on'the 2 ' » th of June , a body of natives having assembled at Point Venus , and their proximity being considered too near for safety , Governor Briiat bad marched against them at the head of 400 French . iTlie natives , having received intelligence of their approach , placed themselves iu ambush , aud allowed the ; main body to pass ; but as the rear-guard were passing in front of the English mission-house , they opened their fire upon them in a direct line with the ' house ] and Mr . M'Keau , one of the missionaries , who was walking on his verandah , was struck by a ball , and ; instantly killed . The native loss is unknown . The French loss amounted to three killed and five wounded .
At the ; same time , on the south side , another action took place , in which the natives were routed . In this action five French were killed and seven wounded , ; The native loss on this occasition'is also unknown ; but tlie day following the natives again advanced jxtpon the town , and succeeded in burning the French mission-house , chapel , etc .

Ijjibh Flax . —At a late meeting of the Roseommoa Agricultural Society , Mr . Hogg stated that he orepared forty-five acres of worn-out stubble for a Saxcrop , and though without manure , the crop was good . One acre which he had scutched produced a clear profit of £ 26 , and he estimated the nett profit of an acre of good flax at £ 80 . This was receiTed witk great applause ; but no steps , it appears , were taken to enable the farmers to follow out Mr . Hogg ' s successful practice . Through the agency of the
Agricultural Societies and Poor Law unions , with the Royal Agricultural Society as a centre , it -would not be difficult , if the-gentry were wisely liberal , to extend'tie growth of flax to every district in Ireland . One acre of the fine alluvial soil of Tipperary or Limerick would yield a more profitable return , with good management , than three under a wheat crop . The present time is peculiarly favourable to its encouragement . Railways will soon connect the most distant points of the island with the Belfast market , affording cheapness , facility , and safety in the conveyance . —Trake Chronicle .

It is only neeessarv to say , in praise of Mr . Genty ' a superior culture , tliat the combined weight of six turnips is 1021 bs ., mid that of twelve carrots 20 lbs . Mr . ( it-nty had forty-seven tons of the turnips per Irish ' acre , and of the " carrots twenty tons per ditto . The
latter are now selling fur three pounds per ton in Dublin . Mr .

" - The former ho had sixty-one tons per Irish aero , the latter forty-one tons per ditto . We . feel peculiar pleasure in giving the above statement—first , as we arc happy agriculture is advancing so rapidly in our native country : and secondly , that Irish educated fanners ( to which class we are informed Mr . lienty belongs ) are so successful . —Evening Packet .

The Duke or Mablborough . —This noble Duke , at Lady-day last , let some land of his at Waddesdon , in allotments for spade husbandly . It had been " dona bad" for years , and had " done up" tlie tenants instead of their doing that for the best . The lowest of it is let at 48 s . per acre . It is rather a stiff rent for such stiff land , but still it Is very desirable to working men , and will do them good . The parties did not take to their land till after Lady-day , and yetthe duke sent his steward up this Michaelnias-ilay , who demanded of each tenant 12 months' rent . Sharp practice this , for poor men to pay six months in advance . —Avlpfbv . ru S ' evs .
riioHOi-i / ii JJkaim . no . —An agricultural meeting and dinner took place in Gloucestershire the other day . which exhibited nothing beyond the usual routine of such affairs- —a good show of stock , and a strong desire on the part of landlords that nothing should be said or done to " offend" the political feelings of our Conservative Ministers . There was , Jji / never , one exception to this line of conduct , which , coming from a practical man , shows that the shoe is beginning to pinch : — ' Mr .

State ov "Luai'E . —Owing to tue advance of the season , the demand for yarn ( which has been so exceedingly active during the last few weeks ) has now somewhat abated , and rather lower prices were yesterday accepted for certain descriptions of warp and of cop-weft , which had previously commanded higher relative prices than other sorts . For all the ordinary shipping numbers and qualities , however , the price * remain quite as high as heretofore . For goods , the demand is still limited , with a slight tendency to a decline in prices , in some few fabrics . —Manchtzdr Guardian of Wednesday .

coastwise , and the business transacted was at a decline of 6 tl . to Is . per qr . on last Saturday's rates but duty-paid foreign met a moderate demand , witfiout any alteration in value . For barley the trade ruled extremely dull , and to effect sales of all except the finest malting qualities , lower prices must have been submitted to . Oats were in stood supply , ana command late rates . Malt must be quoted a shade lower . In ? ye-we had very little passing . Beans and peas were taken off on similar terms to last weeK . The arrivals of flour are large , and prices 6 d . to 1--pel 1 sack cheaper .
Manchester Corn Market , Saturday . Nov . 23 .- " At our market this morning Wheat met an extreme ? limited sale , and we repeat , nominally , the quotations of this dayse'nnight . There continues to be an absence of ail activity in the demand for every description of sack Flour , and on even the best qualities a decline of fully Is . per sack was submitted to , wflp on that of middlinjr and inferior manufactures a turther reduction would have been made had vufe ! come forward .
