      MANCHESTER . Dear Sir , —At the New Bailey Court on Saturday , at a quarter to Oue o ' clock , D . Maude , Esq . took his seat upen the bench , when Mr . B . M'Cartney waa placed at the bar . Superintendent Wolfend-n , of the Pendleton police forrs , stated , that a warrant w ? s placed in his bands for the apprehension of the prisoner , for having attended a meeting at Ecel < r 8 on the lltb of August , and there made an inflammatory speech . Witness apprehended the prisener in his dwelling , in

      Cross-hallstrcit , Liverpool , on Tuesday night , at half-past eleven o ' clock , and found in bis possession a book containing a great number of memorandums respecting Chartist transactions . He had also a receipt in bis pocket for money paid for the use of a room used for holding Chartists meeting ? . On searching hia house the following morning , witness found a great number of letters from various parta of the kingdom , showing that the prisoner was extensively connected with Chzrtist movements . He was a dealer in Chartist tracts , and witness found a great number of them in his

      possession . M'Cartney cross-eximined the witneta—Is it part of your instructions to take down , or remember what is KUd by a prisoner when in your possession ? I may do so , if I think it necessary . M'Cartney—Am I therefore at libsrty to make use of what fell from yen in my own defence ? Mr . Maude—If it is a part of the conversation between you and him , you cave a right to make ns « of it . M'Caitney , to the witness—Yesterday , when eoming ¦ wi th you on the railway , do you remembsr saying you wonld have some difficulty in establishing the charge set forth in your warrant ? Witness—No . M'Car tney—Do you remember saying in reply that , if you failed in this case , yeu would apply to have me remanded until you could establish some other charge against me ? Witness -I said there were other cases that could be

      proved against yon . M'Cartuey—Does not that savour very much of taking a msn on speculation ? Nathan Fryer , an overlooker under the Bridgewater trust , said he was at the open space near the Cross at Eccles on the 11 th of August , between four nnd five o ' clock in the evening . There were about 200 or 300 persons there , and they were addressed from a cait by the prisoner and two or three others . M'Cartney addressed the meeting as " fellow-slaves , ' and commented much on the evils the working classes were suffering , all of which he ascribed to class legislation . He elvised them to continue their cessation from labour until the document known as the People ' s Charter , became the law of the land . He used other expressions tening to prove the power possessed by " rampant capital over prostrate labour "

      Richard Polliitt stated , that he was at Eccles on Wednesday , the 11 th . of August . Saw a crowd of three or four hundred persciis there , and several persons addressing them from a cart The speakers advised the meeting not to go to their work until they got an advance of wages ; but when the prisoner was introduced , be advised them not to return till the Chartar became the law of the land . This witness was cross-exam ' ned by the prisoner at great length , and admitted that it was the best speech he ithe -witness ) had ever heard , but thought it should not be addressed to an ignorant mob . The truth should not be told st all times . The evidence for the prosecution here closed ; and the prisoner was remanded till Friday , when he was again brought up , and on the application of Superintendent WoL ' enden , remanded til } Friday next Mr . Bent , solicitor , applied for the prisoner ' s liberation on bail ; bnt the application was refused .

      A Shake . Caught in Berwick . Bay . —This morning ( Friday ) as one of the boats was engaged in the turbot fLhing , about two miles and a half to the eastward of Berwick , the fishermen ( John Watson and Wm . Maltman ) were greatly surprised by a fish of unusual shape and dimensions becoming entangled with their net , and which on being taken up with some difficulty , proved to be a fine young shark . He measured eight feet in length by four feet eight inches of girth , and had all the characteristics of the species distinctly marked . The weight i 3 supposed to be about twenty stone . The captors have since been exhibiting the fish in Berwick , and it has attracted a good deal of attention . — Warder .

      Extraordinary Birth . —A correspondent states that the wife of Mr . Henry White , bookseller , 350 , Osford-strett , corner of Blenheim-steps , was safely delivered , on Sunday night , of three fine children , two girls and a boy , who , with their mother , are doing well . —Globe . Hobabt Town and Lamiceston papers to the end of May have arrived , and they describe some activity in consequence of the banks having reduced their rates of discount . All descriptions of agricultural stock were advancing , and a better demand for winter maiiEfactured goods was evident . The grain markets appeared to continue in a firm bnt stationary position , the support of prices arising from the heavy shipments which are stated to be made to Port Philip and Adelaide . The whaling season had commences ; several vessels had left for their respective fisheries .

      On Wednesday the Very Rev . Principal Lee waited on Prince Albert , at Dalkeith Palace , and delivered to his Rojal Highness the diploma of LL . D ., conferred by the Senatus Academicus of the Edinburgh University . Tne diploma wa 3 enclosed in a case of elegant workmanship , and was most graciously received by Prince Albert . The Yicar of Gedney . —On Sunday morning last , the process of suspension was served upon the Rev . T . S . £ scott , as he was going to church ; and the same was on the church doors , for the edification of all who went to worship . This was the only " service" which took place at Gedney Church on Sunday las ' .. —Stamford Mercury . Imitation Punishable . —Five paupers were sentenced to fourteen days hard labour , at Leicester , lately , for"laughing , braying , and making a noise as if they were driving cattle . " Such amusements are practised by legislators in the House oi Commons with impunity .

      Forgeries . — A forgery of rather an extensive nature . has just been discovered at Liverpool . The delinquent js John D . BarnjJey , late a clerk in a respectable effice contiguous " to Castle-street . It seems he had filled up a blank cheque for £ 240 , forced the signature of one of the firm , and took io to the Branch Bank of Eng ' . and , where it wag cashed He sent another simiiar forgery to the bank for £ 800 j but , being unsuccessful in this instance , he immediately decamped , and has not yet been taken . £ 20 reward has been offered for his apprehension . Noble Self devotion . —A few weeks ago two miners , Yerran and Roberts , were » t work in South-Caradon new shaft ( which is intended to be sunk perpendicularly , through a granite country , to intersect the lode at the depth of 140 fathoms ) . The

      present . deptn is about 10 fathoms , and they hud prepared a hole for blasting , the fuse inserted , tamped up , and all ready for firing ,. On these occasions the men are drawn up by a windlass , ar . d as they are only three in a corpse , there is only one man at the brace , and he can only draw up one at a time , consequently , after the whole is ready one man is drawn np , and the kibble lowered ready to receive the last man , who has to put fire to the fuse , and then both men at the windlass draw him up with the utmost speed , in order that all may get out of the way when the explosion takes place , which ia sometimes bo violent that large stones are thrown Hp at the top , carrying with them part of the roller and windlass to a considerable height . It unfortunately happened that , as the safety fuse with which the

      hole was charged was longer than was necessary , they inconsiderately took a 6 harp stone to cut apiece of it off , and . ignition instantaneously commenced They both ftew to the kibble , and cried out to the man at the brace to ' wind up ; " but alas ! after trying with all his might he eoald not start them . At this awful mojaent ( while the furious hissing of the fuse assured them that their destruction was within half a minute ' * march of them ) yerran sprang out of the kibble , exclaiming to his comrade , Roberts , ** G « on , brother , I shall be in heaven in a minute I "—consequently , Boberts was drawn np , and Yerran threw himself down , and placed bis poor devoted head under a piece of plank ia one comer of the shaft , awaiting the moment when he should be blown to atoms . Just as Roberts got to the brace , and

      was looking down with trembling apprehension on the fate of poor Verran , the whole went off with s tremendous explosion ; and a small stone struck Roberts severely on the forehead as he was Looking down the shaft . Te the inexpressible surprise and joy ef the men at the brace , they heard Verr&n cry out "Don't be afraid , I am not hurt ! " Roberts immediately descended , and found that the great burden of the blast was thrown in every part of the shaft except the corner where poor Yerran was coiled np ! This extraordinary circumstance has produced a ^ considerable sensation throughout the district . Not only do they view the escape as a miraculous interposition of Divine Providence , bat the conduct of Yerran as a noble instance of what a real Christian will do in the moment of extremity . — ( From » correspondent ia the Mining Journal , J

      Military Savings' Banks , —An act was passed last session ( the 30 th of July ) for the purpose of establishing military savings' banks throughout the service . It is declared , " that it is expedient to establish savings' banks in the several regiments of cavalry and infantry in her Majesty's service , for the custody and increase of small savings belonging to the non-commissioned officers and soldiers Berring therein . " The deposits may be applied to the publio service , instead of investing the money in publio securities , and paymeat 3 made out of the grants of Parliament for the army . The depositors to be paid interest at the rate of £ 3 16 s . Ojd . for

      every £ 100 . Rules are to be made by the Secretary at War , with the concurrence of the Commander-in-Chief and Commissioners of the Treasury . By the fourth section , trustees and others are not personally liable , except in cases of wilful neglect and default . The accounts are yearly to be laid before Parliament . Under thin act the savings' banks to be established in the army are not to be considered as within the meaning of the other savings' banks . The banks are to extend to foreign stations ( excepting the territorial possessions of the East-India Company ) , and will enable soldiers in all pltoes to provide a fund for themselves and families .

      Fatal Peizefight . —Salisbury was on Monday last disgraced by a prize-fight , in which a young man , eighteen years of age , named James Lenton , tell a victim to his adversary , a person about his own age , named Joseph Coombs . It apDears that a spirit of rivalry has for some time been manifested in both the combatants , who were first cousins , and both of them by trade cordwainers , and Monday was fixed upon for a trial of prowess . Accordingly a wager was laid , and the parties having calmly selected their seconds and bottle-holders , proceeded to a field near Lobcombe-gate , about a mile on the London road , where they were prohibited by the owner of the field from exhibiting their brute-like passions . Nothing disconcerted , however , they repaired to a meadow some quarter

      of a mile nearer the city , but also within the precincts of the borough , and commenced fighting . The combat lasted nearly an hour , with half-minute intervals between the rounds ; but before many had been fought , the deceased was beaten " stone blind . " In order , however , that this misohance should not interrupt the exhibition his eyes were lanced , and he continued to fight until nature became entirely exhausted , and he was heard to say that he would give in . At this time he was ghastly pale , and trembled from hand to foot , but being over-persuaded to have one round more , he Btood up for that purpose , and while Coombs was again putting himself in a fighting attitude , the deceased

      fell to rise no more . At this period , although life was evidently all but exliDct , the conquering party drew the stakes , and almost immediately repaired to their rendezvous , leaving the deceased upon the field . There he was allowed to remain about a quarter of an hoar , and was then removed on a hurdle to the Salisbury Infirmary , but before the poor fellow reached the institution , death put an end to his sufferings . . The magistrates immediately ordered the police to apprehend the parties concerned , and one of the second . s , named Read , is already in custody , and as the others are known , we trust that every one will be punished . We regret to add that upwards of 200 persons witnessed this revolting transaction .

      Boy Picked up at Sea . —On Thursday last , about noon , the Queen of the Isle steamer , on her passago from Liverpool to Douglas , picked up a small boat , containing a boy about , ten years of age . The poor fellow , when brought on board , was in a state of partial insanity , arising from fear and the effeets of the salt ivater he had drank . It appears , he was a little , forlorn wretch , wandering about Douglas . Having , on Saturday week , begged a small bag of meal , of which some boys endeavoured to rob him , he took refuge in a small boat , which being let adrift by his pursuers , he was carried out to sea , and when discovered by the captain , was about forty miles from the place he had drifted from . A medical man being on board , every attention was paid to him , and ho is now in a fair way of recovery . Stirrup Cup to Prince Albert . —Previous to

      Prince Albert ' s departure from Taymouth , we understand that the Marquess of Breadalbane presented his Rojal Highness with a splendid stirrup cup , composed of Scotch pebbles and jaspers , richly mounted in gold , the pebble forming the bottom of the enp , being a singularly beautiful specimen , the natural lines in which present the figure of a Highland loch , with the sun under a cloud . The cup has been much admired by all who have seen it . It was the workmanship of Messrs Fraser and Co ., 17 , St . Andrew-street , Edinburgh , jewellers to her Majesty . —Caledonian Mercury .

      Extensine Se : zcjhe of Tobacco . —An extensive seizure of contraband tobacco was made at Passage , Waterford , late on Friday afterncoa , on board the schooner Elizi Anne , John Adair , master , of and from Liverpool , bound for New Ross , apparently laden with salt . The vessel had just arrived in . the port , when she was boarded by the revenue officers of Passage . While the revenne boatmen were about making search , and just as they had taken off the hatches , one of the boatmen , named Stephen M'Donald , found a stiong smell of tobacco , and upon further examination , it was found that the lading of salt was only a cover for tobacco ; the vessel and cargo were immediately put under seizure by Mr . Paiker , tide surveyor at Passage , and the captain , mate , ( Michael Collins ) , and the crew ( four in number ) were taken into custody . The vessel was brought up to the city on Saturday morning , and

      her salt and tobacco were taken out and landed : 470 bales of tobacco were found , which , at 60 ! b . each , amount to 28 , 2 U 01 b . The captain , mat 6 , and crew , were brought before the mayor , and committed by him for further examination—probably on Friday or Saturday next . The vessel ia new , and of about seventy tons burden . It is believed that she had been a long time out of Liverpool , and strong reason exists for thinking that in the interim she went over to Holland to take the tobacco on board . The circumstances of the seizure speak very highly for the alacrity and judicious conduct of the revenue authorities at Passage , and it is likely to prove very lucrative for the seizing officer and his subordinates . It would seem they are well entitled to approbation and reward for the part they have acted on the occasion . The duty on the quantity seized would exceed £ 4 . 000 . —Waterford Mirror .

      Hops . —Maidstone . —The hop picking is now very generally closing—indeed , over the far greater breadth of the plantation , has closed . Many of the hands were paid off on Saturday and yesterday , and wire taking themselves off in various directions . The prouuee in this district rather exceeds what it was generally laid at , and the quality is first-rate . The college ground , we are informed , averages over five bags an acre , which is rather more than it did last year ; but ! the average would have been higher if the hops hid been suffered to grow out more . The quality sustains the long established reputation of this ground . Mr . Gurney's young piece is said to average nearly seven bags an acre . We mention these two grounds , in consequence of their having been so generally inspected by visirers , and the numerous conjectural estimates that have been made of their produce . In the neighbourhood of Canterbury we learn the weight will be rather more than las " , year . The T'nterdon district , comprising abLUt

      4 , 000 acres , comes very short . Cranbrook about the tame as last year . Stapleton and the Weald generally very short . The duty it will be seen iB up to £ 155 , 000 ; but we very much doubt whether the result will warrant that estimate . —Maidstone Journal . At Canterbury market on Saturday several samples of hop ^ -were shown , and a good deal of bu > ine = s was transacted . The prices varied from £ 6 to £ 8 15 s ; several tons , being part of the growth ot Mr . Neame , of Sellinge , realizing the latter sum . Some few grounds in the neighbourhood have had their crops gradually turn to a brown colour , and are of course , in an equal ratio depreciated in value , whilst some , and we may say only a comparatively small portion , have not only retained the brightness of the pure hop , but have produced a 'considerably larger growth than was anticipated . The operation of the picker is rapidly drawing to a close , and we perceive in a few grounds that pole-stacking ha * commenced . The duty stands at about £ 150 , 000 . — Kentish Gazette .

      The Ixnk . eepexvs' Harvest in Scotland . —The Edinburgh Baniiace 3 reaped a capital harvest during the period of Her Majesty's visit to Scotland . The same may also be said of that fraternity in all the o : her towns in those neighbourhoods which Her Majesty and the Prince honoured with their presence . Beds , and indeed every other description of furniture which could be , however tortuously , appropriated for a resting place at night , were amazingly up in the market ; chairs and tables at a high premium , mattresses and paillasses scarce , though eagerly inquired after , and only to be procured at an immense advance ; and , as for easy chairs and sofas , happy and fortunate was he who could secure tbe half of a couch , or the loan of a little bit of an easy chair , at the rate of something like half a sovereign per night . One geatleman connected with the Royal household slept , or rather

      attempted to sleep , for six nights , upon the only resting place he could procuro at one of the largest inns at Edinburgh , which consisted of three very hard serpentined wooden bottomed chairs . For this species of " accommodation"he was charged by the modest Boniface the very moderate sum of only half a sovereign psr night . A story is told of George I ., who stopping to breakfast one morning at a roadside inn in . Germanv , was charged a guinea for a new-laid egg .

      Atrocious and Dabing Robbery . —On the evening of Friday last , the village of Bsbiagton was thrown into a state of great consternation , by the report that tbe dwelling-house of Mr . Edward Inglefield , farmer , had been broken open at the early hour of half-past eight , and that he and his housekeeper were nearly murdered . Several neighbours instantly repaired to the spot , when they found the wounded couple lying on the floor deluged with blood . Messengers were immediately despatched for Mr . Gorst , surgeon , of Rock Ferry , who was promptly in attendance upon the aged Bufferers , and remained with them for several hoars before they were sufficiently restored to jgive the following particulars . About half-past eight o ' clock , the owner of the house , aged 70 , had retired to rest

      as was his usual custom , leaving his housekeeper and a little grand-daughter , about ten years of age , to complete some arrangements necessary for the following day ' s market . While thus engaged , their attention was attracted by hearing footsteps passing the end of the house ; but , supposing it to be the gamekeepers of Edward Parry , Esq . and the Rev . R . M . Fielden , who are in the habit of crossing in that direction in the course of their nightly parades , they innocently opened the door to speak to them , when one of the robbers rushed into the house , took the candlestick out of the woman ' s hand , struck her a violent blow aoross the face , knocked her down , and continued to . beat her in a most brutal manner . Her cries brought the old man down stairs , when another party felled him to the ground by a desperate blow on the head , and continued to kick him while in this prostrate condition , and then seized his throat m suoh

      a savage manner as to make him dread instant suffocation . He promised to give them all the money he had if they would only spare his life , and proceeded up stairs for this purpose , when he found a third already engaged in ransacking his drawers . The little girl before named attempted to get through the window , when she waa met by another of the gang who was standing outside , and he presented a pistol at her ; this naturally frightened her , and she secreted herself under a bed , where she was a silent hearer of all that was going on ; and it is supposed that , being unable to find her ( as they were all in the dark ) , they thought she had made her escape , and would of course give the alarm , when they decamped , leaving the work of destruction iuoompleted , and , in their hurry , left a pistol loaded with two balls , and a hat whioh it is confidently expeoted will lead to' their detection . — Liverpool paper .

      Secrecy . —In the debate in the United States Senate on the new British treaty , great care was taken to have the doors closed , and to keep everything secret . The weather being very hot , the windows were- up , and Mr . Allen , from Ohio , who has a very shrill voice , talked so loud that any one could hear in the public walks outside the Capitol , and as he went over the whole ground , the details of the treaty were common talk in Washington before it passed the Senate . So much for secret session .

      Holbeck . — 'Mr . T . B . Smith preached here on Sunday last , and on Wednesday evening the same gentleman lectured to a numerous audience .

At the conclusion of the lecture , the Chairman announced that it was the intention of the Chartists of Holbeck to establish a Tract Society , with a view of spreading their principles more widely . The new Council were then elected , and the meeting separated . Derby . ^ —A meeting having been called by the Complete Suffrage party last ni&ht ( Monday ) , a few invitations were sent to the Chartist 3 , through the sub-Secretary of the Association , and a Committee of three were appointed by the Chartists to

      put any questions to the speakers they thought proper . The meeting was srricrl y private , being called by circular , and the majority present were middle-classmen . The School Room was full . The meeting was addressed at considerable length by Messrs . Sturge , Albright , of London , aud Etchard , of Derby , the tendency of whose speeches was to calm the apprehensions of the middle classes on the subject of granting the suffrage to the people , one of the reasons assigned being that they ( the middle classes ) had nothing to fear in conceding the vote to the people ; thattheir property was perfectly safe ; wealth had always kept the power , and wealth would continue to hold the ascendancy in political affairs . Mr . Fraser , of Leeds , who was present , after making a few remarks upon the speeches of Messrs . Sturge

      and Albright , put it to Mr . Sturge "That , as an advocate of complete suffrage , wishing every man fco have a vote , how could he ( Mr . Sturge ) make the uajust mode in which the proposed Conference was to be appointed , agree with his advocacy of complete , or universal suffrage ?"' Mr . Sturge , in reply , stated , that the scheme under notice wad not of his nt osing , but that it originated from Mr . Lovett . of don ; and , therefore , he thought it would give satisfaction to the Chartist public , Mr . Lovett being an old and steadfast Chartist . Moreover , this Couferenoe was principally for the purpose of breaking down the prejudices of the middle class portion of society ; but that , we should always keep in mind that they , the members of the Complete Suffrage Union , recognize our principles , the points of the Charter . Mr . Fraser , in reply , stated that the Chartist body bo far ) from implicitly following the advice of leaders , weighed every thing they proposed to the body , and whether it was Mr . Lovett or Mr ; O'Connor who

      presented such advice , they had now the intelligence and boldness to differ with either or both if they thought they were in error ; consequently it was no reason we should agree to this Conference , because Mr . Lorett adtised such a mode of election ; and addsd there had been too much mere recognition of principle ; we wished them to act on their professed principles , and then we whould act along with them ; and proceeded to show , by illlustration , the injustice of electing a Conference to be called a national one , upon the principle laid down in the address of the Complete Suffrage Union . " The discussion was carried on for perhaps an hour or more , Mr . Fraser making the following remark : —¦' "That if Mr . Sturge wished to destroy the prejudices of his order , let him call a middle-class Conference and their argue with them , " drew from Mr Albright the request that Mr . Fraser would send his ideas to the council in Birmingham , and they would take hie plan into consideration .

      TO THE TRADES OF THE METROPOLIS . Fellow Working Men , —We address you not as Chartists , not as political reformers , but as men obtamuis our livelihood by the work of our hands , animated by a sincere desire to uphold the rights of labour and to unshackle industry from its present degraded fetters . We at this important period appeal to you to aid by your countenance and support those victims who have been consigned to felon ' s cells by a tyrannic oligarchy , for daripg the attempt to improve theircondition by obtaining abetter remuneration for their labour . To men , who , like you , are practically acquainted with the manner in which capital has encroached upon the rights of labour , we need not explain the unavailing struggle in which tor years past our brethren in the Northern and Midland counties have been engaged in trying to compete with

      the great power of machinery—machinery which is uhtaxed , unfettered , and protected from all competition by its owners having the power of making the laws by which trade and commerce is regulated . Long and bitterly , as you are well aware , did they strive to maintain their independence ; but the struggle was unavailing ; living animated matter cannot compete with the giant power of steel and steam . Year after year , have their wages been reduced lower and lower , until , driven by their heartless employers to the verge of starvation , they , as a last resourse , determined to retire from the heartless struggle , and ceaso to labour until they received in return for their exertions , a sufficient remuneration to procure the necessaries of life . In this , their righteous resolve , we are sure you will

      spmpathise ; you will also feel proud of the noble manner in which , during this period of excitement , they have conducted thomselves ; their conduot has been such as to elicit the approbation of their most prejudiced opponents ; notwithstanding the brutal treat ment they have received , and though lives of their brethren have been sacrificed , they have respected the lives and , with few exceptions , the property of their assailants . Their peaceful conduct has been met by the bayonet and musket of the soldier and by the bludgeon of the policeman ; many have been hurried into eternity by these diabolical proceedings ; hundreds are enduring the horrors of imprisonment . The families of these men must not be neglected ; they must ba supported and cheered under their privations and sufferings . We feel

      assured we have only to lay this subject before you to insure jour earnest and hearty co-operation . If the Government is successful in this onslaught on the privileges of your northern brethren , you will be the next victims selected for the sacrifice ; if these patriotic men and their families do not receive ymr support in this their hour of tribulation , how can you look to them for sympathy aud support when you may be placad in tne same perilous situation ? It is only by making a determined stand that you can ward off tho blow ; it is only by affording your strenuous support to these men that you can demonstrate to the Government that they are parts of one great whole , and that you consider an attack upon tho trades of one portion of

      the empire equally this same as an attack upon yourselves . We need say no more on the subject . You are acquainted with the circumstances which led to their imprisonment ; you have , without doubt , read the evidence ( if evidence it can be called ) adduced against them . You are aware the state of trade and the coiuiuuation of the strike ' must deprive them of assistance in their own locality , and as Englishmen and brother operatives , we feel assured you will take active steps ( by forming committees , &c . ) to raise funds for their defence and support in this righteous struggle . Signed on behalf of the Chartist Metropolitan Delegate Meeting ,

      William Cuffay , Treasurer . Thomas M . Wheeler , Secretary .

There were fair importations of foreign Wheat and Oats during th <^ past week . From the increased supply of new Wheat and the falling off in the condition of it , the trade was very dull for English this mtrning at a decline of full 2 s . per quarter generally , and in some instances 33 . per quaTter lower was taken than on thiB day week , with a merely retail demand for foreign at about .

      the preceding market day wore slightly exceeded J within the last day or two , however , the inquiry for that article has somewhat abated ; and , although prices were tot lower , less disposition was shewn to purchase . Oatmeal was in moderate request ; but , to effect sales of eithor old or now , rather lower rates were accepted . At our market this morning the trade , influenced , no doubt , by the languid reports from London , Liverpool , Wakefield , and other leading markets , purchased very sparingly of Wheat , at a decline of Id . to 2 d . per 70 lbs .
