SHS ' EXPBHSS' ASP THS PEOPLE . ' % Man s destiny , with all his interesting relatione , high hopes , noble aspirations , requirements , and extended capabilities ; his positioD socially , and what should be his position politically ; his improving and oroEressive nature will ba the one engrossing theme . tb& cento upon widen we * iU constantly revolve ; and whatever for a time may carry ub away from this one great and paramount topic , it will only ba . -that we may return refreshed , invigorated , and letter qnalified with new accessions of knowledge « nd power , to treat npon so weighty , so grave , so worthy , and so enlarged agubject as man , bis responsibilities , and hi 9 relation to his fellow-man . But to
do all this properly—te be enabled to make this organ effeotually and wholly tho organ and instru * sent of the people , wherein a \ l and every of their political and ciril rights , which in fairness ought to be possessed and enjoyed by them , will be severally bandied , freely discussed , and brought home to tho coftvictioa and satisfaction of every plain and rightthinkiag roan—it not only requires that we must work , but it requires that you , whose name is legion , whose occupation la labour , and whose political position is laughed at as a dream , treated as a joke and a by-word—it requires , we say , that you in your own protection- —ihatyou , in the just defence of your infringed and robbed rights , cume forward , and that witheufc delay , in an associated and systematic
form , and support this , one of the twe only papers which cares one straw either about you , your interests , or your well-being . We can , allow us to assure you , look to sou only to maintain and float through this paper ; for to look to others would , indeed , be trusting to a broken reed ; would , in short , be placing dependence upon those whose whole happinesB would be onr Bpeedy death and burial . Come forward , then , and do it quickly ; tec bo ticae be lost , for delay is dangerous . If your organ goes down , there will bs another triumph , another peel of victor jal acclamation , that will ring the air , and which will be thrown at us , ss the knell of our departed hopes . It is truly remafkaWe , but it is as truly melancholy , that , in Labour ' s cause—in tke cause of the millions of this
country—there are only one or two organs at most that take up and treat as inviolable and inalienable the rights and liberties of the people . Is this not an odious , a notable , and an appalling fact , that while BTery Basil section of the richer classes have their © rgjra , which daly represents them , and bravely maintains all their immunities entire and whole , the great palladium , the bnlwarfc of the country's hopes , riches , prosperity , and even independence ; in 2 word , the great millions of the people are in a hopelessly degraded , enslaved , impoverished , uureprr *
seated condition , unless through the columns ef that brightest of all luminaries , that fixed star of the greatest magnitude ( whoso centie is the people ) , resplendent in all hemispheres , and whose cognomen is the 'Star of the North .. ' Come on , then ! Straggle for your own independence ! Strike at once far Universal Suffrage ; and while you strike , forget net to make one universal , powerful , and organised stroke to support the humble efforts of the Edisburgh Weekly Exphebs , in working out that great and master principle , Universal Suffrage , or man ' s rights reragnised .
THE CHARTIST MOVEMENT 15 EXGLAKD . The Chartists of the great metropolis are exerting themselves nobly . A most important pnblic meeting was hald on Tuesday week , the principal speakers being those eloquent and able reasouere , MesBrs T . Clarfc , Julian Earney , and Ernest Jones . The several speeches were worthy of the exalted reputation of the patriotic gentlemen , and must hare nrade a lasting impressioB on the audience . Everywhere in and aronnd London meetings are being held ; and the executive of the National Charter Association , and the directors of the Land Company , are untiring in their efforts to arouse the men of London to renewed agitation for the Charter and the Land . In © twj part tf England the causa looks T ? e \ l and pros .
perons ; numerous meetings are held ; and every thing indicates that the political campaign of 1843 will be pregnant with great and lasting results . We trust Scotland will arouse herself , and imitate the activity and energy of her English brethren ; and now that they have an organ they can truly call their own , we hope to hear of meetings being held in everj town in Scotland in suppsrt of the People ' s Charter . The utmcst excitement prevails throughout the Tarioas branches of the Land Company and National Charter Association in regard to the position of Feargu 3 O'Cpnner , Esq ., as M . P . for Nottingham . Haej are evidently determined to do their duty ; and , from the resolutions passed at their various meetings we hope to sea a goodly fund raised to meet the necessary expenses .
EDISBEBGH CHABIEB ASSOCIATION . The council of the above association held their usual weekly meeting on Tuesday , Richard Birkett in the chair . After the ordinary badness was © Yer , Mr 'William Urqahart , one of the a ?» tatins committee , reported that that committee had writtea to the Chartists of Dalkeith , Las 3 wade , Loanhead , Gorebridge , Musselburgh , Leith , and otherplaces , and were in expectation of receiving immediate answers . Tke snbsecretary then produced a draft of an address , as infracted at last meeting , which was approved of , and « hiok is S 3 follows : —
* Tne Chartists of Edinburgh to the people of Great Britain and Ireland , and the Democratic interest In par - ticular . Friends aa < i brother Democrats , ia addressing yon on theprissnt oeeatioD , and upon a subject which we conceive so materially affect 3 each and all of the inhabitants of these realms , we hops yon will notimpute to us the sin of presumption In thus addressing you in be * half of obs ko able to defend himself , and us also , as reargns O'Connor , Esq ., M . P . Ho has shQwn himself to be , in a series of fifteen years' continued warfare against the rich oppressor , the friend of the poor end oppressed . Our object is not the gratifying of those passiom which , so often rankles ia the human bosom , or the writiBg of fine addresses , and cf making eloquent tni sablime harangues , with no intention of putting
their substance Into practical operation , but merely to have our senses tickled with the plaudits of our fellow-Gxea , leaving to ?>^™ that will the carr ^ iBg into prac-Hca of that ffbich ' we merely propound in theory . Ho ; such is sot oar object . But something more worthy a place in the human breast—a desire to Terarn enr gratitude to one that has done and suffered so much for as sad the oppressed of every line ; and , however weak , feeble , or confined our attempts to do 10 may appear , our desire is nevertheless ss pure , genuine , and sincere , though it were clothed in the most choice and eloquent 8 tyle our language could admit of . However able Mr O ' dnaor may Be to cope with his enemies , we know he II SOt too proud to accept our humbler aid . Friends end brot ier Democrats , bavine said so much , we will
now eater more fully into the subject of our address . \ ve presume that you ar « all aware that our honoured end acknewleflged leader ( Mr O'Connor ) was lately ie . turned as member for Nottingham to the Commons ' House of Parliament , in lieu of Sir J . C . Hobhonae , by a weeping majority of independent electors of that town ; we also presume that you are aware of the qualifications required by law from individuals before being eligible to lit aB membars of Parliaaent ; and also , that Mr O'Connor has , on various occasions , and in divers places , and i&ro-Jgh tie medium ol the press , stated that he would never offer himself a candidate for , or accept of the representation of any place whatever , unless he was thoroughly qualified to do so , and thereby te enabled to retain his « eat aedrepresenthis constitceEts when elected
even according to all the requirements and technicalities of the law . But friends and brother Democrats , perhaps you are not aware of the fact , that in Nottingham there ere s fjw base , unblushing rascals , who bare come forward and disputed that gentleman '* qialificatien as required bylsw , their object bein ^ to drag him to de . fend his seat in the courts appointed for such cases ; and , as they cannot purchase him , they intend to adopt the Melbourne policy of raininz him with expenses , they belag a party abundantly possessed ef the sinews of war . You may rest assured they will endeavour to make the expenses as great as possible , to ensure the success of their plan . They know fall well hisjqualificatioa is sure ; but in him tbey Bee a quick observer of their weak , shallow , shuffling designs ; a mighty
opponent to their canning , fraudulent , treacherous , and blood-thirsty doings ; a fearless expounder of the truth sad lover of eternal justice ; in short , one to be got rid of at all hazards , and at any cast , even to the sacrificing Of jnetiea . Shall you , then , the people of this mighty empire , knowing these things as jou now do , stand coolly looking on , and see such a base and flagrant attempt to crush one of the noblest-minded mea this or any other country can boast of , and the greatest philanfi&roplstof the age ; for tne man that can , like him , tuA round to those that banished him from his native land , andlif . ed tb . 9 ir hsnis ! o tury their aurdcrouii steel in his bosom , and say to them , 'Friends , from ray soul I forgive you , ' that man is truly noble ; and the maa that can look roandhim , and beholi millions perishing for
lack of food , sad having traesd the cause , and found s remedy , can turn to the famishing people , and say , bere friends , take , eat and live—that man is a philanthropist indeed , that man . is Feargus O'Connor , Esq . ynil you , thes , allow snch a man to ba the victim of a clique , who laugh at justice , and reverence no law . Shall yon , jelectors , that boast of yonr privilege to be guch , look unconcernedly on , and witness this a ; tempt to deprive fb ur brother electors of Nottingham of their J ust and lawful choice , without lending thorn your aid f Justice cries No ; self-interest catohts the echo , and vlfcratasthessund ; for , riinoinbsr , what is their case today may be jours to-morrow . Let but your represents

NATIONAL DEFENCES . Last week a t > nblic meeting of tha inhabitants of the borough of teed ? , convened by the mayor , in compliance with a requisition , was held in the courthouse , under the presidency of his worship , ' to express their sentiments on the expected iuorewe of the army and navy , and the oaliing out of the militia , ' In opening the business , the mayor said , that whilst lie deemed it a peculiar privilege as the chief magistrate of the borough on all occasions to afford his fellow-burgesses a full opportunity for tho calm and dispassionate consideration of all subjects affecting
their welfare , he rejoiced that the first oooasian on which he had to exercise that privilege was one which accorded so much with his own sentiments and wishes . The meeting had been mainly con vsned in consequence of the notorious letter of the Gommander-in-Chief of the Army , which had reference to the state of the national defences , and to the intention which was said to exist of augmenting the army and navy estimates . It was to be regretted that after thirty yeara of peaee , the necessity for safeguards against war should still be supposed to exist . Mr T . NcsNBLBr proposed the first resolution : —
Tbat this meeting has heard with regret tbat It is intended largely to increaie the military establishments of the country , thereby eeriouBly augmenting the burden of onr present enormous expenditure in the army , the navy , and the ordnance departments , and that , toe , du ? ing a ser ' ons depression in all branches of national industry ; and would express its surprise that such a measure should be proposed at a period when a long continuance of peace has created a kindly feeling of brotherhood between large and enlightened sections of all European nations , and after the recent assurances from the throne of the eontlnuanea of the amicable dispositions of those nations towards this country . He reviewed the present state of tho army and navy as compared with what it was ten or a dozen years ago , and showed that a large increase had taken
p lace in those branches of our national defence ; and ie adverted to the fact that England had-neve ? yet been invaded , notwithstanding the attempts that had been made , as an argument to show that there was no chance of the island being successfully invaded . It would , therefore , be iropolitio to increase the pnblic expenditure in providing against a very improbable contingency , especially in the present state of the national resources , and with the existing national burdens . In further disproof of the necessity for the anticipated expenditure , he enlarged upon the various circumstances which would prevent any surprise to the people of Great Britain in case any invasion should be attempted . MrDiBNT 9 N Ldpton briefly seconded thotnetion . Mr Ed . Bai . ves , jun ., moved the second resolution , as follows : —
That the astonishment of this meeting is increased by tne consideration that the proposal , if sasctloned by Par . Hament , will so immediately follow the adoption of those enlightened and pacific measures of commercial intercourse , the ultimate and sure tffect of which , It was aBgertcd , would be so to unite natiGns together la the bonds of mutual dependence and common intorest , that war would be seen and felt to be an intolerable evil , and tbat such an augmentation of our meaBB of offence and defence would he totally inconsistent with the recent policy of Parliament , and a practioal expression that
the government and the legislature have no confidence Ir the principle on which that polloy was so successfully advocated . - ¦ He said , he rejoiced from his heait to ase aueb . a crowded meeting of his nativetown to protest against whatever tended to provoke war , and toraiBe its voice in support of whatever was favourable to peace . It was the saying of one of the wisest and greatest poets of England , that War is a game That , wer « their subjects wise , Kiogs would not play at .
Mr Maclea seconded the resolution , and , like the former , it passed unanimously . The Rev . Thomas Scales ( Independent minister ) raoved toe next resolution : — That thiB meeting believes that the beBt means of preserving international peace Is , for esch nation to remove all impediments to commercial intercourea ; to abstain from all interference in the quarrels or domestic affairs of neighbouring nations ; and to carry into practice , In Its extended policy , the same divine laws of action whleh are admitted to be of absolute authority over ths con . duct of men in thiyelatloag of social life neither backing its own claim for compensation or redress with threats sf force , nor receiving the claims of other nations ia the attitude of defiance . bu » . alike seeking or yielding compensation in the temper of firm forbearance aBd the spirit of inflexible justice , Mr Rr-BERi Jowitt seconded the resolution , aad briefly advocated tho advantages of peace .
# Joseph RicHAnnsnN proposed the next resolution , which strongly deprecated the calling out of the militia , or the enforcement of compulsory military s -rvice , as repugnant to thefeelinss of a vast tnnj . rrity ofallclasseB , as a causeless invasion of the liberties of the subject , and by many as an act of violence to their consciences and religious scruples . Mr Wu . Bhook seconded the motion . He saw no reason wby the working classes should be called upon ( o fight the battles of other penple ; he did not see why , sp long as they were denied the exercise of the franchise , they should be called upon , to fight for othera . ilia cry would be , mi he hoped it would be that of every working man , 'If we are to have no vote , we will hare no musket .

Proposed the filth resolution , which declared that in accordance with these views , the meeting earnestly deprecated any addition to the military establishments of the country , but would express its confident belief that a large reduction of the 8 o-ea ) led , * peace establishment , ' which has been increased toasum equal to the propertj and income tax , would havo the beat effect . Mr Flint seconded tho motion ; and after its adoptioa a petition to Parliament , embodying the resolutions above set forth , was agreed to . * i

TUB LONDON C 0 NFEDERAL 1 STS . It muBt ba gratifying to the Old Guards to know that their time hallowed principles are atlaatto be adopted in Ireland , and it may be truly said that agitation in that mis-governed and deluded " country ia about to commence in earnest . Messrs Mitchel , and Devin Reilly , who seceded from the Nation , and ' other competent contributors' have issued » prospectus of a new weekly journal , to be published in Dublin , entitled the "United Irishman . The > l ! owing extract will give sume idea of its political design : — Oar independence mutt be had &t all ha zards . If the men of property will not support us , they must fell : we can support ourselves by the aid of tbat numerous and respectable class of the community , the men of no property , —Theobald Wolfe Tone .
Tho projectorB of the United Ibibhham fc ' elleve that the werld is weary of Old Ireland and also of Youbjt Ireland—that the day for both these noisy factions is past and gone—that Old end Young alike havo grown superannuated and obsolete together . They believe that the public ear is thirsting to bear some voice , bolder , more intelligible , more independent of parties , policies , and cliques , than any it has beard for a long while . T ' jey believe that Ireland really and truly wants to be freed from English dominion . They know not how many or how few will listen . to their voice . They have no party prepared to halloo at tfeetr backs ; and have no trust save in the power of truth and the immorM beaut ; of freedom . He tbat hath ears to hear , let him hear . The principles on which the United Ibisbkak will be conducted are shortly these : —
1 . Tbat the Irish have a just and indefeasible right to this island , and to all the moral and material wealth &n 4 resources thereof , ta possess and govern the same for their own use , maintenance , comfort , and honour , SO a distinct sovereign state . 3 . That it is in their power , and it is aho their manifest duty to make good and exercise that right . 3 . That the life of one peasant is as precious as the life of one nobleman or gentleman , i . Tbat the property of the farmers and labourers of Ireland is as saored as the property of oil the noblemen and gentlemen la Ireland , and is also immeasurably more valuable . 5 . That the custom called tenant-right , which prevails partially In tke north of Ireland , is & just and salutary custom both far north and south ; tbat it ought te be extended and secured In Ulster , and adopted and enforced , by common consent , in the other three provinces ef the Island .
S . That every mania Ireland who bWI hereafter pay taxee for the support of the state , shall have a just right to an equal voice with ever ; other man in the go-Ternment of tbat state , and the outlay of those taxes . 7 . That no Irishman at present has any If gal' right * , or claim to ths protection of any law ; and that all' legal and constitutional agitation' iH Ireland la a delusion . 8 . That every free man , and eve ;; mad who desires to beooms free , ought to have arms and practice the uoe of them . 9 . That no ' Combination of classes' in Ireland is dagirablo . juBt or possible , save on the terms of tha rights of the Industrious elasBeB being acknowledged and secured . 10 . That no good thing can come from the English Parliament or the English Government .
Now it will be seen who was right and who was wrong—M * F . O'Connor or Mr O'CoDneJl ; it mmt be gratifying to the former to Bee that although the latter did all that man could do to prevent Chartist principles from , being promulgated in Ireland , that they are at last taken up , and ab&ut to be acted upon , by men who will not desert their country in tho time of need ; success , then , to the United Ieisohan . Oh ! for the swords of former time , Oh ! for the men that bore them , When aim * d for right they stood sublime , And tyrants crouch'd be / ore them . '

O'Connor , to the votes of thunks forwa&ded from that club to them . As regards the only reason he ( Mr Kenealy ) could assign for bis not doing so was , tbat he foaad he could not draw the Confederates into the vortex of Chartism and the Land Scheme . ( Loud cries of'No . no , 'from several parts of the meeting . ) —Mr Nangle , said—lie considered that Mr O'Connor was the tried friend to his country : he had never deserted her in the worst of times ; in fact , Mr O ' Connor was an honest man , while Mr O'Connell was a polished rogue . —Mr O'Regan said he did not agree with Mr Kenealey in denouncing Chartism and the
Land Scheme . —The Chairman : Mr O Kegan , you are out of order . —Mr O'Regan . As a member of this olub , I am entitled to bo heard . I only have to state that had the funds of the Repeal Association been used in getting up a Land Company in Ireland , upon the same principle as that in England , Ireland would be in a far better position than she now is ; the late agitation had been a delusion . He ( O'Regan ) believed in all the principles of the Charter , and Repeal would not benefit Ireland , without ita legislature was based on the broadest principles of democracy . ( Cbeers . ) He believed that Mr O'Connor was deserving of the gratitude of his countrymen . ( Loud cheering . )—Mr T . Daly : He could speak from experience . lie had watched the
ooBducfc of Mr 0 Connor , and that gentleman was a sincere politician , and the firm and unflinching ad ' vocate of his country ' s rights . He ( Mr Daly ) begged te state that he was a member of the Land Company . —Mr Reading begged tn state to Mr Kenealey and the chairman , that fr . m the multiplicity ot vetos of thanks and confidence \ ouiinginuprm Mr O'Connor , fhafc gentlemsrr , in a letter in the NoninBRN Siar . to the Irish people , had thanked his conntrv * men in England , Ireland , and Scotland , for their con fijpnee in him . If gentlemen would allow their prejudice lo get the better of their common sense , and no * read the Stab , ib was not the fault of Mr O'Connor . —Mr Kenealey said , he had said nothing that oould be construed into a denunciation of the
Charter or the Land Scheme . He had been decidedly misunderstood . —MrO'Regan : I certainly understood you to denounce the Charter and the Land Scheme . The matter here dropped , and tho business of the evening having been concluded , the meeting was ad * journed . A strong feelinp was evinced in favour of Mr O'Connor , and any attempt to asperse the character Of the People ' s Champion , come from what quarter it may , will be of no avail .

BaRNSLBY . —Irish Democratic Cokpsderatiok — Tin ' s body continue to hold their meetings weekly and enrol members . On Sunday evening they assembled as usual at Mr ( ieorge Utley ' a large room-Mr Owen Coopan was called to the chair . Several articles wero read from the Dublin Register , the Nation , and ihe Nohthbrn Star , amongst the rest ihe excellent letter of Sir O'Connor in defence of the Chartist movement , and also the article headed the 'Nation al Distress , ' from the Star , which wire highly app lauded , Mr O'Leary addressed the meeting at some length , on the necesaity of tho committee exerting themselves to effect & thorough organisation of the Irishmen resident in this town , in order to procure as much money as possible , to assist in de'ending the
si at of that uncempromiainp advocate of the people ' s rights , Mr Feargus O'Connor . —Mr Kueth coincided in the remarks of the former speaker , and said that there were many Irishmen wishful that a re ? onoila tion shculd take place amongst all classes of his countrymen , and for that purpose he would suggest , that the committee wait on those individuals to bring about afriendly feeling . —Mr O'Leary said the society had given no offence to any individuals , and if they appreciated the principles of democracy , they ought to come forward and lend their assistance in carrying them into effect . —Mr Coyle followed in a similar strain . —Mr Deane did not see the utility of the committee running after a few persons whom th « y had not offended . The secretary had d herded hi <
character , and he ( Mr Deane ) considered he was justified in doing so . —Mr Seprave sa d he was not sorry for the course which he had adopted in defending his character . He was first stigmatised as a liar , und then aa a calumniator , which every man who had any acquaintance with him knew were false accusations . The letter o f Mr Grattan , showing that if he were cul pablein voting for the Coercion Bill , Mr J . O'Conaell was equally bo , proved that he was right ; and he would ask , where was the moo who would say be had one d'op of Irish blood in his veins , that weuld not denounce the traitors of his country ? He ( the
speaker ) was threatened with physical force for expressing hia opinion , but he was prepared to forget the past , if men wenld only work for the future in carrying out the glorious principles for which their forefathers struggled . —A fresh committee was appointed , after which a vote of thanks was eiven to the chairman , and the meeting separated . P . S . On the motion of Mr O'Leary , it was resolved 'That the Democratio Confederates are prepared at a moment ' s warning to respond to the appeal of Mr O'Connor ' s electioneering committee , by aiding the Chartists of the town to procure fundB to defend his seat in the House of Commons .

That they are bo , 1 adroit , but that they had no right to open another Company without the consent of the present mombera I deny , if we and they are to be guided by Chartist principles . Are we to act so £ 8 elfish a ^ parr , because some may think this second Company may retard their location , that we are to say to our director ? , they shall no ?
help our brothers , who may be inclined to join the new Company ? If we act upon thiB principle we are 83 much the tyrants as our greatest foe .

Do yoa think the present Company strong enough in number to obtain it ? I gay no . Then assist , instead oi throwing obstacles in the way of the directors to increase our numbers till we can by peaceable means obtain our rights .

Several large paresis have been disposed of for the inland markets , as well as for shipment to Scotland : —York Regents , 123 s to 156 s j Scotch Reds , l 2 os to 125 s ; ditto Buffs and Blues , 110 s to 120 s Kent and EBBex Regents , 110 s to HOs ; ditto Shaws , H 0 atol 25 s ; ditto Kidneys , 12 fts to UOs ; ditt » Blues lies to 120 ; Wiabech Regents , 110 s to 130 s . Mascbestbb Cobn Exchinse , Saturday , January 22 . — We have had a flat trade since our last , with a general tendency to decline . The transactions in each articlo are limited , at a decline npon wheat of 3 d per bushel , and flour fully Is per sack or barrel . In other articles no particular variation . Indian corn aud meal rather recover the late depression .
Livbbpool Cobn Exchange , Tuesday , January 25 . — Since Friday , our importations from Ireland , coastwise and from abroad , hare been to a moderate extent , though < O 3 terly winds must have tended to diminish them . Tha tap do , during the interval , had been steady , at full prices for erery article . At this day ' s market the business ia wheat was only in a moderate retail war , at Id to 2 d per 7 o& under Friday's rates , for both old and new . Oats were held at about previous prices , but eo faw were sold that they were little more than nominal . Grinding bar . ley and beans brought , in trifling retail sales , the san >» prices as before , back flour found an extremely dull sale , and wbb Is to 2 s per 8 ack cheaper ; the best Wegtorn Canal was held at 29 b , with hardly a sale made . Oatmeal scarcely over 26 s per load . Leeds Corn Exchange , Tuesday , January 25 . —Wo hate a good arrival of grain tbis weeft j tbe trade con . tinues very heavy , but in wheat we note no material alteration from Friday . Barley is held firmly . . Oats and shelling , as well as beans , steady .
Hdlii Com MUbkit , Tuealay , January Ii . — We have had another week of great dulness In the corn trade , and all articles may be purchased on easier terms . Tha eupply from farmers in all quarters is more than adequate for . the consumptive dsmaud , and the condition , generally preventing speculation , makes business exceedingly lifeless . Any attempt to sell from granary ouly further dspresses tbe trade . The condition of our to-day's supply of wheat from the farmors was decidedly inferior to ia . t week , aud such not good to sell at a decline of us to 8 s par quarter , while the best runs were taken by our local millers at about Is to 2 g per quarter under the
current rates of last week ; the transactions in foreign a : e quite in retail , at a Jibe reduction . Barley is more saleable , ut full Ia 9 t week ' * rates . More inquiry for beans , and poas also meet more attention . Oats are neglected , though offered on lower terms . Linseed continues to arrive freely , but the market continues firm . Cakea may be bought the turn in favour of the buyer . Rape . seed quite nominal ; rape cubes Bnleitble , at our quotations . More inquiry for guana ; less business passing in rye meal , but at late prices . The weather has been varied , but , on the whole , not 80 severe as in some other parts , nor what might be looked for at this period of the year .
