SHEFFIELD . ( From our ovon Correspondent . ) Sojtdat Etekdcg Lecture . —Mr . Barter lectnred in the Association Room , Fig-tree Lane , on Sunday waning last , subject— The evils of a Hou ? e of Lords . " The leeturer well handled bis subject , exhibiting the past and present crimes of the aristocracy , the infamy of the law of primogenitare , and the absurdity of voting by proxy . The thanks of the meeting were awarded to Mr . Barker for his able lecture .
Public Meeting . —The weekly public meeting of the Sheffield Chartists was held on Monday evening l » st , in the large room , Fir-tree L&ae . Mr . Svokee was a&H&d to the chair . Mr . Julian Harney , in a lengthy address , moved the adoption of a memorial to the Qaeen in behalf of the Welsh yictimi . Mr . Needbam seconded the adoption of the memorial , which wtfl carried unanimously . It was then rewired that the memorial , signed by the Chairman in the name of the meeting , should be sent to the Home Secretary for presentation to the Qaeen .
Trades Meetings . —An overflowing meeting of the pen-knife grinders was held on Thursday evening . Bee 2 nd , at the Rawson ' s Arms , Tenter-street . One of the body was called to the chair . Mr . Rogers , of the firm of Joseph Rogers and Sons , Norfolk-street , Cu-lers to the Queen , was present , as also Dr . Holland . Dr . Holland addressed the meeting at great length , entering folly into the free trade question , showing up the fallacies of the cheap bread , high wages , and plenty to do" gentry in a manner convincing to all present . He showed that the present degraded condition of the working elass was to be mainly attributed to the gambling avarice of unprincipled manufacturers , who had glutted the markets of the world with the most
spamnsof rubbish under the name of cutlery—thus destroying the trade , and bringing disgrace upon the very name of Sheffield . In proof thereof , Dr . Hollind produced certain knivea , bearing the name of Rogers , manufactured by some unprincipled Bcoandrele , who made use of the name of the above respectable and honourable firm , the said knives being the most contemptible rubbish ever attempted to be imposed upon a buyer—compared with which Peter Pindar ^ razors , " made to sell , " were virgin steel indeed ! At the conclusion of his address , Dr . Holland said be should be happy to answer any' question that might be pot to him . One of toe operatives asked Dr . Holland if he did not think it would be well to
petition Parliament for a Charter of incorporation for the callers , similar to what the cutlers of Sheffield formerly bad ! Dr . Holland eaid he considered such petitionings would be a waste of labour ; the present House of Commons was composed of men who were interested in destroying the old Charter , not giving now ones to the working men . It was ¦ seless to look to the Parliament for relief , they must look to themse ves—they must remember the fable of Hercules and the waggoner , and put their own shoulders to the whtel to help themselves out of the mire of their own difficulties . He did not approve of trade ' s unions , where they could possibly
be dispensed with ; but , the employers having trampled epos the rights of their workmen , the workmen were justified , nay , it was their duty to mute with each other for the protection of their labour . Mr , Rogers spoke in confirmation of the Tiews and statements of Dr . Holland . Mr . Thomas Crosaiand moved the thanks of the meeting to Dr . Holland and Mr . Rogers , for their attendance tha ? evening . Tbe mover vrsnaly eulogised the Messrs . Rogers , in whose employ he had formerly been , as gentlemen , who never failed to do justice to their workmen . The motion was seconded by Mr . Luke Fir th , and carried unanimously . The meeting then adjourned .
Table Kmrs Haftbhs . —A meeting of this branch of the cutlery trade was held on Monday last , at two o ' clock , is Mount Tabor ChapeL The meeting was very numerous , and as such afforded us a hope that the trades of Sheffield are arousing them-Belves to a sense of their importance as wealth-producers , and tbe necessity of union amongst themselves to withstand the further encroachments of grinding oppression . Mr . . Luke Chapman was called to the chair , asd well performed the duties of his © fSoe . The following ars the resolutions agreed to unanimously : — " That it is the imperative doty of every member of the trade to promote and extend onion among his fellow workmen , and thereby promote his own interest , and the interest of his
fellow men . " " * That the committee sit every Tuesday evening , from six to eight o ' clock , at the Rawwra ' s Arms , Tenter-street , to receive the contributions of the trade , " " That the printed rules of the trade be acted upon , and abided by . " " That this meeting deeply regret the present system of competition between the employers , and protest against it as being injurious to the interests of both employers and workmen , and resolve that energetic measures shall be adopted to counteract the evil effects of so baneful a system . " u That a general meeting of the trade beheld the first Monday in every monih , at the hour of two o ' clock , in their present place of meeting . Mount Tabor ChapeL " Onr limits will not permit us to give tb . 3 speeches
delivered , bat it Is only justice we should state , that but one feeling seemed to actuate all present , viz ., a desire to unite with all the honest and honourable of their employers to put an end to that system of imposing inferior and ppurioua articles upon the borne and foreign buyer , to the injury of the honest manufacturer , and the ruin of tbe trade at large . Wellwill it be if the enployers will meet tbe workmen in the same honest spirit . Upon the manufacturers now rest the responsibility of union and restored prosperity , or selfish disunion and general ruin . One fact we may mention in conclusion , tbe cordial reception our reporter met with shows that our principles are known and admired , and we trust the day is no ; far distant when the trades of Sheffield will rally round tbe banner of our cause .
Stbjkb of the London Masons . —Meeting op Trades' Delegates , —A meeting of delegates from the different trades of Sheffield was held on Monday evening last , at the Grey Horse , High-street , called to consider the case of too London masons , lately employed at the New Homses of Parliament , and now on strike in eoaseqsenee of the system of tyranny pursued towards them by Allen . We understand that delegates from the various trades were present . Masons , bricklayers , painters , Britannia-metal-EiaithB , saw-makers , brickmakers , wood-sawyers , tailors , table-knife-hafters , file-trade , and scalemakere ; Mr . Thomas Peatfo ^ g , mason , was called to the chair . The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : —" That the censure of
this meeting is hereby passed upon George Allen , foreman to Messrs . Grissell and Peto , for bis disgusting , inhuman , asd despotic conduct towards the masons lately employed at the new Houses of Parliament . " u That the delegates consider the London masons to have been every way justifiable in their s ; rike against the hateful tyranny to which they were subjected . " u That the delegates present pledge themselves in behalf of their respective trades , to give every support in their power to the strike , so long as it continues—and will use all the influence they possess to induce other trades not
represented at this meeting to give them support also . " " That the Masons' Committee be empowered to sit every Wednesday evening , from seven to ten o ' clock , to receive the trades' contributions in support of the strike . " " That , in the event of the strike continuing until the 1 st vf January , 1842 , the Masons' Committee be empowered to call another general meeting of Trades * Delegates to consider what further measures shall be adopted in support of the strike . " In accordance with the fourth resolution , the Mason ' s Committee will sit every Wednesday evening , from seven to ten o ' clock , at the Grey Horse , High-street , to receive contributions in support of the tura- « uts .
THK Musdxb . op Mart Nall , by hes Husba > t > , ih Sheffield . —Nothing has transpired since onr last , relative to thia horrid affair , -which does not corroborate what we then stated . An inquest was held on the afternoon of Tuesday week , at the Bee Hive , in Glossop Road , and by adjournment , on Thursday , at the Town-hall , upon the body of the enforiaaaie victim , before Thos . Bfrdger , Esq ., and a respectable jury . Evidence at some lengw was gone into , and the Jury , after the Coroner had addressed them , deliberated but a short time , and then returned a verdict of rt Wilful Murder against Robert Nail , " upon which he was committed for trial .

James Watson , hair-dres 32 r . a appears that h . e spent Sunday evening weak at an inn , in the neighbourhood , where he made too free with the liquor . When labouring under intoxication , he is subject to fits of insanity , of which it is supposed he was attacked at the time of his disappearance .

GREAT MEETING IN THE TOWN-HALL . On Monday , the Town-Hall of Hull was , for the first time , occupied by and appropriated to the business of its rightful owners , the people . A requisition , signed by nearly two hundred inhabitants , oi whom upwards of seventy were voters , having been forwarded to the Mayor , requesting him to call a Meeting of the inhabitants of tbe borough , to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to take into consideration the present defective state of the representation of these kingdoms in the Commons ' Houfc of Parliament , with a view to ite amendment , tbe Mayor convened s meeting of the inhabitants of the borough , for Monday , to by holden is the Town-Hail , at one in the afternoon .
It had been represented to his Worship that this wia s , most inconvenient hour for the people , that great numbers who felt strongly interested in the miners of consideration to be brought before the meeting , would bu , tf necessity , excluded by thi 3 arrangement ; but hs refused to give the use of the hall for an eTenieg meeting , and exacted from the deputation of requisitors who waited upon him , a

pledge that the proceedings of the meeting should not be continued after dusk . Notwithstanding , however , ihiB disadvantage , even the Morning Chronicle is compelled to admit that the hall was densely crowded . It was , indeed , densely crowded , and no mistake ; and would have been so had it been capable of accommodating a much greater number . A committee of the requisitors met in the Grand Jury Room , and the doore of the hall were thrown open to the public at half-past twelve . About one oolook , Mr . Padget , a working man , proposed that in the absence of the Mayor , the veteran Radical , Mr . John Jackson , should take the chair . This proposal being seconded , was carried unanimously .
The Chaibhjk regretted that the absence of the Chief Magistrate , by whom the meeting had been called , should haretarnished the present opportunity to his fellow townsmen of testifying towards him their good opinion . It would certainly have pleased him better to have seen the chair in other occupancy , but since they had thought proper to call him to the office , he would dischargeitsdutiesin the best manner of whioh he was capable ; and he hoped ho should have the support and kindly consideration of the meeting in the office to whioh they had called him . ( Cheers . ) He held the first duty of & chairman to be impartiality—( hear , hear)—and he trusted that they would not find him deficient in that necessary qualfication . He hoped that all speakers would he beard
patiently , and that the matters of discussion to be brought before them—matters in whioh the interests of the whole nation were involved—would be seriously considered , and dispasiouately treated . ( Hear , hear , and cheers ) He would not further detain them from the business of the meeting , but would introduce to them Mr . John Feck , who had been appointed to move a resolution . Mr . Pick was received with loud cheers . He congratulated himself , the Chairman , and his brothtr Chartists , upon having come , for the first time , into possession of their own Hall . ( Cheers . ) It happened usually , and had always happened hitherto , that buildings such as that in which they were now assembled , and which were raised ,
supported , and upholden by the people , were occupied f or the use and service of all parties but the people . ( Hear , hear . ) The working people had stronger claims upou the use of that Hall than any other party , but till now their claims had been always disregarded—( hear , hear , )—and even now , the right they were exercising to meet in their own Hall , was accompanied with what he could not understand otherwise than as something very nearly approaching to a contumelious Blight . ( Hear , bear . ) That was the first time in the course of his experience , in whioh a meeting called by the Mayor had sot boen opened by that functionary , and bo thought that this circumstance required some better explanation than bad been yet given of it . He was
quite willing to admit that the Mayor might have many engagements , and he believed the meeting could not have desired to inflict upon him any inconvenience ; but he did think that respectful courtesy to the party to whom he professed to belong , —that gratitude fer services past , rendered by those to whose exertions he and his fellow corporators owned their elevation , ought to have induced him not to fovego iu this particulor instance the regular usago of the borough . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) If his avocations precluded him from continuing with them during the meeting , he might at least have come down and opened it . What might be his reason for this discourtesy it was not , of course , for him to say ; perhaps his Worship might have been affrighted by
the caricatures of Chartist speakers drawn by the venal press of the factions , and might have feared the compromising of his character and dignity by some incautious or intemperate language ; he trusted , however , that if this were so , the result of the present meeting would convince him that his apprehensions had been needless and that , as they were now upon their good behaviour—( cheers and a laugh )—bound in some sort by the circumstances attending their occupation of that Hall , —every Fpeaker who might be introduced to them would see the necessity of exercising prudence , and selecting his words with caution , that they might bid effectual defiance to the spy brigade . He had been appointed to move two resolutions whioh he would now read to them : —
" Resolved , —itt That it is the opinion of this meeting , that in consequence of tUe present corrupt and defective state of tbe representation of these Kingdoms in tbe Common ' s House of Parliament , and the entire failure of the so-called Reform Bill , an organic change is necessary , or tbe country will be involved in one common ruin : —2 nd ., That in the opinion of this meeting , it is essential to the well-being of this realm , that the Commons House of Parliament be elected annually by tbe free rotes of all male subjects twentyone years of age and upwards , without reference to rank or property either in the voters or members to be elected . "
The reading of the resolutions was followed by cries of ' * Hear , hear , " and applause . He was there to maintain the principles involved ip those resolutions , and , in the terms of the requisition , to com * pUin of the defective state of the representation of the people in tho so-called Commons' House . There Were many points in whioh that representation was glaringly defective . ( Hear , hear . ) The first of these was in the fact that many of those who were nominally , were not really , represented ; because , for want of the protection of the Ballot , many persons who held tho elective franchise were unable to exercise it conscientiously , or in accordance witii what they considered to be the interests of the country . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He
complained of the representation being defective , because the present system conferred upon the representative an undue tenure of his office . He contended that the Parliament which passed the Septennial Act , had no right to do so—that it was a stretch of legislative power beyond its due limits , tally eqasl to that of the LoDg Parliament which prolonged its sittings in defiance of constitutional usage for tbe term of fourteen years . The people claimed that they should have Annual Parliaments for the squaring and settling up of their accounts with their representatives . A tradesman who should talk of settling accounts once in seven years would be accounted a disreputable shuffling fellow , and he knew not why the same epithets should not apply
to Legislators . ( Loud cheers and laughter . ) The people complained also , of the defeotiveness of the representative system , inasmuch as it made the test of fitness in a representative to be not merit or intelligence , but property . This was little else , in his estimation , but a bonus to the landed interest . It would be , in his opinion , equally as reasonable and just to require that a man should possess two ships as a qualification , as to require him to hold landed property to the amount ot £ 300 a-year . ( Cheers , and laughter . ) He maintained that the people had a right to select their representatives from amongst the poorest and the humblest , if these were honest and intelligent , and that these were even more likely to be at representatives , because more
intimately and practically acquainted with the w&nts aud feelings and interests of the people . ( Long-continued cheering . ) The people complained also that the present state of representation was defective , because of its unequal distribution of its electoral privileges ; numbers of email towns , possessing few inhabitants , and comparatively little importance in the country , had equally as many , and in some cases more representatives than other towns of v&st magnitude , extemive population , and great influence . Of these several instances were named by the speaker amidst the cheers of the meeting . These were heavy matters of complaint against the present syst < m of electoral representation , but there was one which Tery far outweighed them
all , and to this crowning grievance he would now direct attention . They complained Of non-representation—( great cheering)—they complained that the damning brand of slavery was imprinted on their brow 3—they complained that they were subject to laws in the enacting of whioh they had no voico or power—that they were taxed for the upholding of a system which they disapproved , and by the operation of which their interests were sacrificed , and they were there to tell their rulers in a voice of thunder , that they would bear these things no longer . ( Loud and long continued cheering . ) They were there to demand that tbe artisan should be no longer shut out from the pale of the constitution ;—( loud cheers );—that he should no longer be excluded
from his fair share in the Government of that country whose wealth he created , and whose interests he was at all times called upon to de : end . ( Cheers . ) They were there to demand that the pledges of the middle and upper classes , who obtained the power to vete by the assistance of the labouring classes , should bo now redeemed by the extension of that same power of voting to the labourers . ( Loud cheers . ) Who carried the Reform Bill ! Not the aristocracy ; not the middle classes . The people carried the Reform BUI for the middle classes , and was it now to be said that the middle classes would not come forward to assist the working classes in carrying the Charter ! the only measure ¦ which conld redeem the country from its distresses and preserve the middle classes from the rain which now seems to await them . ( Hear . ) If any class were entitled to be represented it was the poor representation was due to them on the hcwta of
justice , for under the present system there was no justice for the working man . Let it not be said that the law was protection for him ; for while ll , 00 t Acts of Parliament bad been passed for the protection of the rich , he would defy aay man to say tba ; one had been passed for the protection of the poor . ( Loud cries oi'"hear , hear . " ) And why was this ! It waa the effect of class legislation , by which all were represented except those who were by every principle of justice and reason the « iO 3 t entitled to it . ( Hear , and cheers . ) The working classes need the franchise to protect their own interests , and why should they nothaveit ! ( Cheers . ) The speaker concluded by moving the resolutions . Mr . Samuel Healey , in seconding tho resolution , said he did so simply because he thought every man ought to have a . voice in the making of those laws by which he was to be governed . It was not right that Jack should have all the shot , and the officers all the prise-money . ( Cheers and laughter . ) The

speaker said the Whigs had sacrificed the interests of the country for their own selfish purposes : they had confessed that the power was in the people , and they had been carried into power by the people , after promising what they would do for them in return ; and , after all , the only measure they had given them was the finality Reform Bill , by which the people were made worse off than they were before , and England , instead of being the envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world , had , under their rule , beebme a bye-word and a reproach . ( Hear , and cheers . ) After alluding to the distress existing in the country , Mr . Healey concluded by seconding the resolutions . Mr . Wk . Webster supported the resolutions , in a short speech , which he concluded by exhorting the
working men of Hull to keep from the publio houses , and avoid intoxicating drink , by which they would prove to their rulers that they were worthy of the franchise , and of every other privilege that could be conferred upon them . ¦ Mr . G . W . Burns , also supported the resolutions , the entire principle of which be admitted , but in a long rambling speech took occasion to make some remarks on the conduct of some parties , whom he denominated Chartist leaders , without , however , naming any particular individual , to whom he alluded . He spoke amidst some interruption , and the evident impatience of the whole meeting . Mr . West , the late West-Riding lecturer , who
was present , also addressed the meeting in support of the resolution , and in reply to some observations whioh had fallen from Mr . Burns . Mr . West spoke for nearly an hour , in the moBt effective manner , delighting , not only the working classes , but tbe middle classes also who were present , by whom he was listened to attentively and loudly cheered throughout ; The principles of the Charter were never more clearly explained , and a powerful effect was produced on the minds of all present . An outline of his speech , garbled as it must necessarily be , would not convey to our readers its real worth , and to give it entire is beyond the limits of space at our command .
The resolutions were then put to the meeting by the Chairman , after having been read by the Town Clerk , and every hand in the crowded assembly was held up in their favour—not a dissentient voice W » c heard . The Rev . William Hill , Editor of the Northern Star , moved the second resolution , for the adoption of the petition . He read the National Petitioa at length , and concluded by moving that it be the petition of the meeting . Mr . William Hornsby seconded the resolution , and after being supported in a few remarks by Mr . William Tatb , the petition was unanimously carried amidst tremendous cheering . Mr Daniel Malonev moved , and Mr . Robert Lundy seconded , the next resolution , whioh was as follows : —
" That this meeting pledges itself to an unceasing perseverance in every species of lawful and peaceable agitation for the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter until they be recognised as the law of the land . " The resolution was carried unanimously . The petition waa ordered to be laid at the Town Hall and other convenient places , for the signatures of the inhabitants . This being the last resolution , the Chairman vacated the chair , which was taken by Mr . S . Healy , and , on the motion of Mr . Peck , seconded by the Rov . W . Hill , thanks were voted to Mr . Jackson , for his unwearied exertions in the cause of freedom , and his worthy conduct in the chair on that
oocamou . The motion was carried by acclamation . Mr . Jackson returned thanks ; and cheers having been given for tbe Charter , for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and for the people , the meeting separated at a little after five o'clock .
SOIREE AND BALL . That no part of the day might be lost , and that opportunity might be afforded to those whose engagements had precluded their attendance at the Town Hal ) , to testify their abidance in the principles asserted there by the town ' s voice , arrangements had been made for a soiree and ball , at the Chartists' -room , Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytongate , where a most pleasing and well-pleased company spent a delightful evening . We nave no official statement of the numbers , but suppose that about 250 sat down to tea , which was of the best , and accompanied by an ample supply of all the etceteras requisite to elegance and comfort , got up by the activity and kindliness of a Committee of Female
Chartists , to whom no small credit is due for their share of the business . After a due discussion of the tea , toast , tarts , &o . the tables were " sided , " and Mr . Hill having been called to the chair , reminded them that , in the midst of their rejoicings , they should remember always the Christian duties of patriotism and neighbourly love , for the exhibition of which he was happy to find that the Committee appointed to conduct the day ' s proceedings , had afforded them an opportunity . It had been stated in the London newspapers that on the occasion of the baptism of the Royal Prince , tbe Queen would testify her sense of the recent manifestation of divine mercy on her behalf , by the extension of
the royai pardon to such offenders as could be recommended to her for good conduct while enduring the punishment of their respective crimes in the the dockyards or elsewhere . It had been thought that the people ought not to permit this opportunity to escape without bringing under her Majesty ' s notioe the patriot convicts , Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and a memorial bad therefore been prepared whioh would be now , he believed , submitted to them for adoption , praying that her Majesty would include those injured and outraged patriots in the list of those who on this occasion might experience the royal favour . This announcement was received with great cheering .
The memorial was moved , seconded , and supported in short but appropriate speeches , by Messrs . Webster , Lundy , and Jones . This dono , the Chairman vacated , the musicians ascended the platform , and healthful hilarity and peaceful merriment was the order of the day for the remainder of the night . The vocal tmusements , under the excellent management of Mr . Webster , were divided into two parts , of which the fellowiug is a programme : —
PART I . Song , " The Outlaw , " Mr . Hodgson . Recitation " Tinker and G . azter , " Mr . Webster . Song , ' I remember , " Mr . Hodgson . Recitation , " Will Clewline / ' By a Stranger , Song , " Hail to the Tyrol , " Mr . Hodgson . PART II . Song , " The White Squall , " Mr . Hodgson . Song , " Philadelphia Lawyer . " Mr . West Song , Kathleen O'Meore , " moat beautifully sung by a
lVady . Recitation , " Mario Bozzaris , " Mr . Webster . SoDg , Scarlett Flower , " Mr . Hodgson . The songs and recitations gave great satisfaction to the company , and were very heartily cheered , they were interspersed with a variety ot dances , quadrilles , country dances , waltzes , &c , so as to please all the tastea and capabilities ot the parties . The amusements were continued to a late hour , and the company separated , every one very highly delighted . Thus ended what may justly and properly be termed a high day in Hull for Chartism .

Heavy gooi which were in most request , are now scarcely J Saired after , and it may be presumed that for tfc ner descriptions , there will not for some time ^ any urgent demand . HUDDKBSFIRLD CLOTH MARKET , TOBSDAT , Dfe 7 . —Our market this day could scarcely have be * worse , were it even wished , for , according to the be * authority , there was scarcely a buyer in the bi A many who brought their goods took them bag without unpacking them .
Bbadfokd Market , Dec . 9 th . —Wool—There y no indication of any increased activity , but middle and low sorts of full bred Wool continue in good request at late prices . The finer descriptions gf combing are dull of sale , and prices are dis prop * tionally reduced . Yarn—There is no altered f ( g . tnre in this branch of trade in either demand tj prices . Piece—This being our Winter fair , we ht ^ had a great influx of people attending our marbt but few of these have been buyers of mannfactwjj goods , and only a limited business has been done , ., and that chiefly in Merinoes , low Figures , and L * ters , of which there is but a small stock in the at . ket . Prices without alteration .
Yokk Corn Market , Dec . 7 . —To-day the £ tendance of farmers is rather better than last weet but the show of samples is by no means grett , Wheat , in condition , fully supports previous prieq ; secondary and damp qualities to to 2 s per quart cheaper . Barley 2 s per quarter , and Oats } i p * stone lower ; Beans as before . Hull Cork Market , Dec . 7 . —A neat deal « ( rain has fallen during the week , and the land is n much saturated that what remains of the wheat on . sown , will have to wait until spring . There is mote confidence shown in the trade ; and although tj » business passing in old foreign wheat continues g . tremely limited , yet the quotations are fuDymaij . taincd when sales are made . For spring con
there has scarcely been an inquiry daring the week , Therehas been a slower demand for both rape Md linseed , and the top quotations are with difficulty made , even for the best qualities ; while ' secondary runs are difficult to quit . Linseed cake in fairdj . maud , aud at rather improving prices . Rape cab lower and but little doing . Bones are taken as they arrive , at full prices . For to day ' s market the show of farmer s wheat , although not large , is more abundant than last—the condition generally very indifferent—low qualities are bad to quit , but any parcels
that are in good or decent condition are taken at folly last week ' s prices . More firmness is shown by holders of old foreign , and the best parcels are hew at rather improved rates . Oats and beans are both dull , and lower prices would have to be taken could sales to any extent be made . The few pv > eels of really fine malting barley that are offering being fully last week ' s prices , and are sought afta by our town maltsters ; secondary qualities , of which the great bulk offering consists , are almost unsale able . To-day the weather is fine and dry .
Liverpool Corn Market , Dec 6 th . —With ib exception of 5 , 800 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland , the arrivals of Grain , &c , to this port during thi past week have been of very moderate amount . Oa foreign produce the duties have declined la . per qr . for Wheat , 7 d per barrel for Flour , and } s 6 d wr quarter on Rye , Beans , and Peas . A tolerable fair business has been transacted in free foreign Wheat ; in addition to moderate sales to the town ' s milieu and dealers , several purchases have been made for shipment to Ireland , and for the general runs the full prices quoted on this day week have been paid , whilst for choice qualities these hare in some m <
stances been rather exceeded . Flour has met only » limited sale at 353 to 36 a 6 d per barrel for United States , 35 s to 36 s for Canadian . Home manufuture has been neglected , a remark applicable also to Irish new Wheat . Oats must be noted | d to Id per bushel cheaper , at which reduction a few parcels have gone off the market . For Oatmeal there has been a speculative demand : about 10 . 000 loads haw probably thns changed hands at 27 s . to 28 * per 240 lbs . In Barley little passing , though offered 2 s per qr . lower . There are buyers of Egyptian Beau at 303 , but holders generally are demanding 32 s pet 480 lbs . Peas have moved in retail only at about last week ' s rates .
Salford Cattle Market , Wednesday , Dec . 8-Tiiere was much about the same supply of cattle tt market to-day , but of sheep it was better . The daman < 1 was pretty good , just sufficient to dear the market , and at prices varying little , if any , froa those of last week . —Best beef , 6 d to 6 &d , middling 5 jd to 6 d ; best mutton , 6 | d to 7 id ; ewes , &c . 8 Jd to-6 } d . per lb .

London Smithfield Market , Monday , Dec . 6 . — On the Monday immediately preceding the great Christmas market , which will be held on the 13 th , large arrivals of beasts are usually anticipated ; bat those fresh up to-day , were , en , the whole , limited for the time of year , though of considerably imprond quality , especially as relates to the Devona , Herefords , and Scots , the two former rival breeds being again in the ascendant , much to the credit of their owners . The prevailing unfavourable weather for slaughtering , and most of the salesmen aiming at higher currencies , caused the beef trade to be much
less than might have been expected . We noted not the slightest variation from the rates of last week , and a good clearance was readily effected . There was only a small show of sheep , the best of which sold from 4 sl 0 d to 5 a per 8 ib ; but 6 a middling and inferior qualities ( which formed the bulk of the receipts ) many of them being extremely lame , were slow iu sale at barely stationary currencies . From Scotland about 60 Scots and 100 sheep came to hand in fair condition . In calves scarcely anything waa passing , but the late advance was maintained . Pigs were quite as dear , with a readj
inquiry . London Corn Exchange Monday , Dec . em-There was a very limited supply of Wheat from Essex , Kent , aud Suffolk this morning , a moderate quantity of Barley and Beans , but that of Pe « was rather large , whilst the fresh arrivals of Otta were only limited , as well English and Scotch , % Irish . The imports of foreign Grain have been limited since this day se ' nnight , and those mostfj from the Mediterranean and Black seas : the boisterous state of the weather , and the wind being at the same time contrary , having prevented any arrivals from the north of Europe . Rain , more or less , fell
on every day during the paBt week , and this moming is wet . There was a fair demand for good dry samples of English Wheat , at something over the rates of this day se ' onight , but no improvement ift the value of damp and ordinary samples . For fine old foreign a steady demand existed at about Is per quarter above last Monday's eoirenoy . Flour was without alteration i " price , town * made nominally the same . Prime Btfty was in fair request at last week ' s currency , but other sorts were dull . Malt was in limited request , and new the turn lower . Beans were taken slowly on rather lower terms . White Peas declined foil Is per qr . There was a moderate sale for Oats at last week ' s prices for good old and new Corn , but inferior Irish were taken slowly , and again the turo cheaper .
Manchester Cork Mabket , Saturday , Dec 4 . — There was but a slender attendance of buyers at oar market this morning , and few transactions reported in any article . Ia the value of Wheat no change in the quotations can be made , but on tbe middling descriptions of Flour a redaction of folly 2-:. per sack must be noted , and only very superior qualitJ * realised 53 s . to 54 s . For Oats and Oatmeal there was rather more inquiry ; however the sales effected were not at any improvement on the currency of this daj se ' nnight .
