EMiGSAUOJi to America . —On Sunday forenoon the American line-of-packet ship , Hen'irik Hndson , Captain Moore , sailed from the 5 i . Katherine ' s Dock for New York . She carries out about 120 emigrants . Of these ihere are fifty in the cabin , the others being intermediate and steerage passengers ; the latter being , as usual , poor agricultural labourers with their families , from the neighbouring counties . Owing to tbe harreBt operations happily going on uninterruptedly in onr own country , the number or steerage passengers per the Hendrik Hudson is faT below the usnal average . Among those in the intermediate berths are several young , industrious mechanics , who have been per ^ naded by their friends in the " far west" to leave the shoTes of England to improve their condition in America . The Hendrik Hndson takes ont nearly s full miscellaneous cargo of British manufactured goods .

Fatal Mistake . —On Wednesday Jast , un irishman named M'Quin , employed in working ihe stills at Douglas Bleacbfield , swallowed a considerable quantity of vitriol trom the jug used by him for snpplyjng the retorts . -Antido'es were immediately but ineffectually used to counteract the acid—afteT lingering six hours , death put an end to his sufferings .

Fatax Qcabsel BE 7 WEEN ReaprBS — On Wednesday wetk a futal conflict occurred amongst a band of reapers , on the Grange Farm , at Lentwardine , Abergavenny . It appears that a trifling dispute arose btiween them , and being excited by liquor , blows ensued ; fortunately , perhaps , it would have besn had this been the only regult , at least it would have saved a rtfl ? ction on our national character—oce of £ ho party assaulted immediately defended himself with his leaping hook , and tbe death of one of the combatants terminated the affray , and another reaper was so dreadfully woundtd that he was obliged to be assisted home . A verdict of " . Manslaughter" has been returned by a Coroner ' s Jnry , against Thomas Turner , who was committed to take his trial at the ensuing assizes .
Mxlascholt Death oy the Daughter op Vjctou HrGO am ) heb HrsjA . m— We find the fol lowing distressing account in the Journal du Havre of Tuesday : — " A sad event , which will fill w . th mourning a family dear to literary France , na 9 this morning afflicted our population . It is another instance of the danger of the navigation of Failing beats on rivers , and against which , in thb case , tbe experience of an old captain was of no avail . Yesterday , about noon , M . Pierre Tacquerie , an old captain , and a merchant of Havre , wbo resided at Tillequier , at his property , on the banks of the Seine , having business at Caudebec , resolved to make this little trip by water , and being famUiar with the navigation of tbe river , and tbe mode of handling boats ,
he took with him in his boat , which had two lu « sales , his young son , aged ten years—his nephew , M . C . Vacfuerie—and iheyonng wife of the latter , the daughter of M . "Victor Hugo , to whom he was not long since married . The boat , which left Tillequ ^ er with the ebb tide , was met at about a quarter to one by the Petite Emma steamer , Capt . Dnrasan . who , on losing sight of her , went to " Villrquier to take in a pilot . Hardly half an hour had elapsed when intelligence arrived that a boat had been upset on the opposite bank , called the Des d'Ane . Assistance was instantly despatched , but it arrived only in time to witness the irreparable misfortune that had taken place . The boat was tsken aback , and the sheets were imprudently made fast . On her being righted , there were found inside a cancon ball and a large stone , which had been nsed aa ballast , and the dead body of M . Pierre " Vacquerie , with the head hanging over the side . The three other persons had
disappeared . It was supposed at first that M . C Vacqnierre , being an excellent swimmer , had , whilst endeavouring to save his wife and bis relat'ons , been carried further ; but , a 3 nothing appeared on the surface of the water , a net was thrown in , and the ground dragged . ThefirBt time it was pulled up it contained the lifeless body of the unfortunate lady , which was taken on shore , and placed on a bed . At the moment when Captain Durason , who has communicated these details to us , quitted the lamentable scene , the drag net had been again used , and it was presumed , from the macovering of the boats , that the bodies of the other two victims had been recovered . Madame Victor Hogo received this morning , at Havre , where she has been residing some time with her two other children , the news of the terrible calamity that has befallen her . She set out immediately for Paris . M , Yictor Hugo is travelling . It is believed that he is at La Rochelle . "
Fatal Dull . —We have received the following from Baden Baden ,, dated the 2 nd instant : —'' A heavy and painfnl sensation of gloom has been cast over this otherwise gay and animated spot by a duel , which took placo this afternoon across the Wurtemburg frontier , between a young Russian officer of the name of Ytsefkine , and a German officer of Carlsruhe , of the name of Gohler , which duel terminated in the death of the former . The cause of difference was this : —M . Gohler had refused to fight with a M . Haber , a relation of the banker of this place , for reasons which his fellow-officers considered sufficient to warrant this refusal . This affair wa 3 warmly taken up by some young Russian here , who espoused the part of M . Haber , considering
him badly used . M . Ve .-efkine put himself particularly forward , and unfortunately went so far as to put up some abusive placards penned by Haber , riflecting on the conduct of M . Gobler , who was detained by military duty at Carisrube . He , however , obtained a conge ,, arrived here last night , and sought an interview with Veseikine , who refused to fight unless Gohler first accepted the challenge of Haber . M . { xehler , exasperated , threatened to strike him , whereupon a duel was agrred to ; nes au ordinary ' affair of honour , ' but a duel a morl , each to have two pistols , and the affair cot to terminate until one was put tors de combat . The second of the Russian was a fellow-countryman , and the o : ber a Spaniard . They proceeded this morning to
Carlsrube , and crossed the frontier into Wurtemburg . The principals were placed at twenty pace ? , to advajsce within ten . The first shot was fired by " Veseikine , which t&ok effect in tbe breast of his adversary , high np nnder the collar-bone . Gohler returned the shot without effect ; the Russian then discharged his second pistol , missing hi 3 adversary , whese second pistol hung fire three different times . From pain and loss of blood he was staggering , and scarcely able to bear up , but his second having handed him a freshly leaded pistol , he fired , and Yesef kine receiving the ball tbiengh the arm into hiB breast , fell dead without uttering a word . Had his adversary fallen , he wa 3 to have fonght a second duel with M . Sarachaga , the second of Gohler .
The latter was immediately transported to Carlsruhe , where he lies in a most dangerous state . The body of Yesef kine was brought hither thia evening by his second , who feas fled to France ; but it has since been taken back to Rastadt . The conduct of the police in this affair has been most culpable , and baffles conjecture , as they had cognizance of the placards , which they toie down , and besides , a short time back interfered ro prevent the same M . Yesefkine from risking his life alone in a balloon ( in which M . llargat , aronaut , ascended , ) for a bet of 500 francs with an American gentleman . You can easily f onceive how this most sad affair has checked
all spirit of gaiety in this place , and cast a gloom over it which will not be dispelled this season . It is the secend duel within three weeks . M . Yesefkme was a young man of twenty-eight , tall , elegantj and brave ; he had Berved in the Circassian war with distinction . He is the last of four brothers , who have all met untimely ends . One was killed in a duel , a second in battle , a third by an accident , and now this last survivor has fallen to complete the auaber . He foaght » Aid here list year with M . d » Shin Bern . For th « trath of the foregoing details I can vouch , as I act acquainted with all the parties / ' — GaUgnani .

MONCMEHT TO REBECCA AND HEB DAUGHTERS . — The Rebeccaites in one night raised three pillars , built of stone , 27 feet high , on one of the hiil tops , abont a mile from the road , in the neighbourhood of Llangadock , in commemoration of their success . Two of them are together , which they have named " Rebecca and her daughter ; " the third is at a little distance , and is named " Miss Cromwell . " They are as large round the base as the Duke of York's pillar in Waterloo-place , and at the distance of upwarda of a mile appear about half as high . It is evident that these , being placed on & hill top , will servo as well for signals and beacon lights as for memorials . —Swansea Journal .
The Gaddesby Mdbdeb , —On Wednesday evening , Messenger , the master of the murdered man , Jame 3 Garner , was fuily committed to the assizes , charged with the wilful murder of ths victim . Wo understand there were several additional witnesses , and amongst them was a soldierfrom Lincoln , named Adej , we believe ; but the examination , which lasted the whole ot tho day , being private , we are unable to say what further evidence was adduced . A vast crowd surrounded the County-office the whole day . — Lincoln Mercury .
The Ghost of a Reoicidb . —On Tuesday night last , about half-past elevt-n o ' clock , the people residing in Lawton street , Congleton , were alarmed by loud screaming , and cries of murder from the inmates of tbe House of Mr . Khrinks . The noise continued to increase , till the police arrived , who burst open the door ; when they were informed that shortly after tho family had retired to rest , they were awakened by loud noises in the house , and on looking om ol bed pcrci-. iveH the tall figure of a man flaring about tho room . They supposed it was ho
otht-r ihau tho apparition of the notorious President Bradshaw , come to revisit his former dwelling . He was , in his day . Mayor of fongletoa , apd was the judge who condemned the uaiortunate Charles I . to be beheaded . The inmates were much terrified , and roared out lustily ; on which . the mysterious visitor unceremoniously departed . The poiico , aided by some members ot the family , commenced a most diiigent search ; but everything was found as they bad left it , perfectly safe and secure . The general impression in Congleton consequently is that " the house is haunted . "— Macclesfield Chronicle .
A few days ago , tbe Isle of Tiree , near Dumfries , was viticed by a shoal of whales , which were no sooner observed than Buveral boats put out to sea to surround them . "The "kadeTa" were fchaving a creek , when a native , Mr . D . Maclean , who chanced to be riding by , jumped off nis horse , taking with him tho bridle and his trusty dirk . It is well known that if one whale bleeds , and is stranded , tho rest of the shoal , by some fatality , follow , and are easily secured . Mr . Maclean steing thn leader quite close , jumped upon its back , and stabbed it in the belly . The moment the monster took it in the saline element it turned belly ap . Donald put . his bridle about its tail , and swam with it to an adjacent boat ! In this manner the unequal fight was carried oa for about an hour , when Mr . Maclean , after having fecured eleven whales , felt exhausted , and had to give np the contest .
RoMAKCE in Clerical Life . —Married at Buckingham , the Rev . James Long , recior of Maidsmoreton , to Miss Janp Hobbs , of Buckingham . The bridegroom , who is nearly eighty years of a « e , has thown a fine taste in female beauty by taking to his arms a perfect specimen of nature ' s handiwork , a young woman who , ( only eight days before , ) was " maid of all work" at Mr . George King's—beameous , blooming , lovely , medest , and twenty-two years of age . The disparity in the age 3 and circumstances of the happy two ( we almost said pair ) caused a peculiar interest in" the town ; old and young and middle-aged , all " hasted to the wedding ; " the female population was on the gui vive , each seemed
to think almost aloud , but their thoughts were not permitted to be heard . The church was crowded to suffocation . Afier the service , the old gentleman , with glowing admiration of his lovely wife , raised her veil , and gave his bride a distinct and audible kiss , before the congregation . No pen can describe the looks of the : female auditors . One simultaneous burst of applause and a loud clapping of hands followed , showing the admiration of the bridegroom's gallantry , and the power of youthful beauty over even advanced years . The curiosity of the public was intense to see the bride , and to pay respect to this worthy old gentleman . The wedding party went off by tho Birmingham railway ob a honeymoon excursion . —Lancaster Gvardian .
Frightful Accident- —On Monday afternoon , between one and two o ' clock , a dreadful accident occurred in Cateaton-street . It appears that the foreman of the carpenters employed in the erection of the premises at the corner of Milk street was proceeding to measure some work on a scaffold four stories high , and in stepping from one portion of the work to another , holding on by a half brick projecting from the building , the brick gave way , he overbalanced himself , and was precipitated to the ground . In his descent he fell with his back across the hoarding erected there , by which his back was broken . He then rebounded on some flagstones that were standing endways , striking them with his head , and the unfortunate man ' s brains were spread in all directions . He was , it was understood , a single man .
Attack by Wasps . —On Saturday forenoon , as a man and his wife , belonging to Pemarium , were enfaged at harvest work on the farm o ? Gooalyburn , they accidentally came upon a wasp ' s " bike , " and so disturbed the inmates that they made their appearascein immense swarms , and fixed themselves upon the unwitting intruders before they could get out of the way . They raised an immediate alarm , and , in a moment or two , all the shearers in the field were about them , using every endeavour to liberate them from their dangerous enemies . This they accomplished , but not until the man and wife were so severely stnng , especially about the face—almost every trace of feature being obliterated—that they had to be helped home and put to bed , from which , as yet , they have been unable to rise , the wounds having produced violent fever . —Perth Courier .
Stranjb and Melancholy Event . —About seven o ' clock yesterday morning , tho bodies of two women were discovered lying near to each other at tbe outside of the cast protection wall . On being conveyed to the dead house , it was ascertained that they were the corpses of two sisters , named Essex and Mary M'Intyre , daughters of Mr . M'Intyre , late of the Excise , and residing on the Perth-road . When found , the features of both were a good deal disfigured , which led to the supposition that they bad been a long time in the water ; but this is not the case , as they were both seen on Monday last , late in the afternoon . The cause of this lamentable event is not absolutely certain ; but the probability is that both committed self-destruction while in a state of temoorary insanity . —Dundee Herald .
Brutal Experiments on Animals . —A late number of the Lancet contains a notice of certain experiments performed on cats , one of which is peculiarly brutal in its character , and not of any scientific importance in its resukg . A foreigner of the name of Weinhold took away the brain and spinal marrow of one of these animals , and filled up the space thus made with an amalgam of mercury , quicksilver , and zinc . Life appeared to be instantly restored , the aaitaal lifted up its head , openvd and shut its eyes , and , looking with a fixed stare , endeavoured to walk ; and whenever it dropped , tried to raise itself upon its legs . It continued in this stato
some twenty minutes , when it fell down and remained motionless . Daring all the time the animal was thus treated , the cira ^ ation of the blood appeared to go on regularly ; the secretion of the gastric juice was more than usual , and the animal heat was re-established . Although it ia not expressly so stated , the cat must have bten alive when this fellow cut away its brain aud spinal marrow , or eke the processes just described could not have been reproduced ; and we can easily believe that a person capable of thus torturing an animal would not hesitate , were it not for penal restrictions , at repeating his scientific experiment on human creatures . —Observer .
The late Parbicide . —The following particulars appear in the Siecle of Friday : — " We yesterday mentioned a horrible crime committed in the environs of London on Mr . C . Dadd . The murder has been imputed to the victim ' s sod , Mr . Richard Dadd , a young painter , who had already been subject to some fits of madness ; but as the police had been unable to discover him , it was supposed he had drowned himself . This last supposition is an erroneous one , for this evening we have recived at our office a visit from Mr . M , who , after reading the occurrence as we yesterday . published it , had come to tell us the following : —Mr . M- was , on the night of the 30 th nit . pss 3 Dg through the fore 3 t of Valence , near Montereau , and was seated on the imperiale by the side of a young Englishman , whose looks seemed to be wandering , and who had been for above a quarter oi an hour amusing himself lowering Mr . M ' s
cravat and collar . ' This singular practice provoked the traveller , who desired hia neighbour to have done with it ; the latter then drew from his pocket an excellent English razor , and set about cutting the throat of the unfortunate Frenchman , who , despite a vigorous resistance , received fonr rather deep cuts , Notwithstanding hia wounds , he succeeded in mastering the young man , whose madness seems to be a mania of catting throats ; for , on being taken before the justice of the peace at Monterean , he yery quietly declared that his name was Richard Dadd , and that he had juBt recently arrived from England , where he had murdered hit father by cutting his threat . He was lodged in the Melun house . But the moat surprising circumstance « f this strange ttory is , that the moment Riehard Dadd was arrested he hastened to give all he had on him in order that his victim might be taken care of i "

Steam Plough on Lochab Moss . —Oa Monday last Mr . Curtis , the eminent ; engineer , invited about twenty of his friends to witness the machinery connected with this plough put in motion ; and it was truly astonishing to see such an immense fabric travel with the greatest facility over ground so soft that a man can scarcely stand upon ifc without sinking . Mr . Curtis politely explained the objects ot the different part 3 of the machine ; and , so far as an unprofessional person cau judge , the principle of the construction seems sound , and we have no doubt that
when completed ( which it will be in a short time ) it will fully answer the purpose intended ; and we may expect to see , at no very distant period , that immense tract of barren morass—now only the resort of curlews and seagulls—become a fertile valley , covered with clover and wheat . In fact , we regard this undertaking as the commencement of a now era in agriculture , and if tho man who " makes Wo blades of grass to grow where only one grew before ' is to bo regarded as his country ' s best benefactor , what shall be said of him who converts worthless heather into the most valuablo grain . — Dumfries Courier .
Military Execution in Sp . ain . —Madrib Aug . 30 . — -One of those events that -make an Englishman thrill with horror took place here this moruing . A battalion of the 2 ad Regiment of Infantry ( Del Principe ) , quartered at the barracks of San Francisco near the Toledo gato , mutinied last night , on account of their inot having had their discbarge , which had been repeatedly promised them . The battalion was at Barcelona , and was one of the first that joined in tho latd insurrrcuori ; it had only lately arrived here . Another battalion of tho same regiment is now in the Fort , ot Moatjuich . The men rose ia mutiny about one a . m ., aud on their Colonel , Senor Angles , proceeding there , it appears that he was insulted , and forced to retire . It was even said that he had been fired at and woundedbut this is now
, denied ; however , the men , about five hundred in number , remained in a state of mutiny all night . Other troops were brought but , and Narvatz himself went there , and , it ia said , promised thorn , that if they would lay down their arms , they should have their licenses of leave , which was all they wanted . At half-past nine o ' clock ihis morning they aocordingly delivered themselves up ; the men were then forced to declare who were the ringleaders , and the latter were placed under arrest . A few minutes afterwards several priests were introduced to confess them , aud at half-past ten , five sergeants , two corporals , and one private soldier were taken out a little distance from the Toledo-gate , and there shot within sight of the barracks ^ 1 visited tho place of execution an hour after : the bodies had been
removed , but the wall against which they were shot was covered with blood , and here and there in tho insterstices , and on tho projecting points of the stones and mortar , were fragments of flesh and hair , which the bystanders were handing round . Numbers of persons have been this morning to the place , and their " curses , not loud but deep , " rendered evident what their feelings were on the occasion . An immense display of force was made ; several battalions of infantry , and a large force of cavalry , with ten pieces of artillery , were assembled near the place of execution . The artillery was placed so as to fire upon the infantry had the latter shown symptoms of mutiny , or refused to perform the duty of dispatching their comrades . The artillerymen stood
by their guns , with lighted matches , ready to fire at a moment ' s notice ; and even so tho murmurs of the men could not be suppressed , and the officers were obliged repeatedly t , o call out for silence ; they were then marched by the dead bodies , and afterwards back to their quarters . A proclamation has been issued by Guernica , tho new political chief , which is stuck about the streets , which merely says that Madrid remains tranquil , that " an event did occur last night at the barracks of San Francisco ; but that it was entirely connected with personal motives , and that order had been re e&tabliehed . " It is expected that iye shall not bo long now without military law being proclaimed . Tho Queen comes in this evening at half pa ^ t six oVock .
Dr . ISruRGiN ' s Machine for Hoisting Materials in Building . —Part of the machine rests upon the ground . 1 he second part of it ia a trestle , which may bs \ placed upon the scaffolding of tho bricklayers ; in tho upper part of which is a wheel which corresponds parpcudictilarly with another wheel , attached to the principal body of tho machine , resting on the ground . The wheel h put in motion by one or several men , who turn the handle by which tho chain operates its rotation . Tho workmen attach their hods , full of materials , and others detach them , to carry them to the bricklayers . The empty hods are attached to the chain and then they are detached . The chain may be lengthened and shortened as necessary . When a story is added to the scaffolding , the trestle is placed upon tho new story ; and the
chain lengthened as required . Thia invention is to relieve the workman frem the most toilsome part of his labour by doing away with the practice of ascending the ladder , and preventing the accidents arising from this practice . By these means building operations will be carried on with greater expedition than heretofore , and it will diminish tho cost of such works . The hods are fastened to the chain at the rate of three in a minute ; each hod contains 1 G bricks ( or the same weight in other materials , ) equal to 48 bricks in a minute , 2 , 880 an hour , 28 , 800 in ten hours , the average of a day ' s work . If the hods are placed more closely to each other on the chain , four can bo affixed in a minute , 3 , € 40 in the hour , 38 400 in the day . If instead of hods baskets be used the amount raised will bo double the above , as the handles occupy much space . — Polytechnic Review .
Lord Cardigan Again . —It appears that , on Tuesday the 29 th ult ., Lord Cardigan , being commandant of Cavalry in the Garrison , ordered a brigade field day in the Pb » nix Park . The troops consisted of the Dragoon Guards and the 11 th Hussars . After being upwards ot four hours mounted , during which time the men were put through all the evolutions—they returned to Barracks , and here arose the scene which has placed Lord Cardigan in another awkward dilemma . The men were dismounted , aud in the act of filing off to the stables , when his Lordship suddenly gave the command to remount . The whole of the eleventh were speedily in their saddles , with the exception of three officers , whose horses had been already removed by their grooms . After the lapse of about two minutes , Lord Cardigan rode up to Mr . one of the senior lieutenanta , and asked
him , where was his horse f He replied , his groom bad gone for him . His Lordship replied smartly , M Go yourself for him . " This Mr . - — declined , observing calmly , as his groom had gone ' for the horse ho would be there in a very few minutes . His Lordship repeated bis command in an impassioned tone , and Mr . made the same reply as before , upon which Lord Cardigan put him under arrest . In the course of the afternoon , the officer represented the matter to Sir Edward Blakeny , the Lieutenant General Commanding the Forces , who wrote to Mr . not to consider himself under arrest from the receipt of this communication ; and so rests the matter . As to the reply of Sir Edward Blakeny to Lord Cardigan , it is a secret , as his Lordship has not communicated it to any of the gentlemen of the Regiment . —Mercantile Advertizer .
Landlords and Tenants in Ireland . —The Marquis of Headfort presided on Thursday at the annual dinner of the Kells ( county of Meatb ) Agricultural Society . The leading gentry of the district and many of tho farmers were present . In the course of the evening , Mr . Naper , of Loughcrew , one of the most extensive landlords in the county , addressed the meeting on the state and prospects of the agricultural interests in this county . " The time is come , " said M r . Naper , " when some change must take place . The people must procure their rights—he meant employment , and remuneration
for thoir labour—( hear , hear ) . If the landlords of Ireland , or their fathers , had been too lavish upon luxuries and supeifluities , the time is now come when the landlords of Ireland—ay , and of England and Scotland—ought to take the matter into consideration . He was sure many of them would cut off a portion of their superfluities , if they theught they could thereby give employment to the people . Let them attend to the matter in good time . The people are now temperate , and fitted for industry . A change is taking place—for God ' s sake , let it not be too rapid nor too slow . " Mr . Naper closed amidst the cheering of the company .
" N&w System of Paying Rents . ' '—Under this heading the Carlow Sentinel , a Tory paper , has been publishing some announcements similar to the following : — " On Sunday morning last , between the hours of twelve aud one o ' clock , about two hundred men aud women , principally strangers in the district , proceeded to the farm occupied by a man named John Harney , near Ballon , in this county , and cut down and carried away about five acres of wheat and two of oats , before bix o ' clock . The party , who were provided with horses and cars , bare off the crops towards Hacketstown , and have not since been heard of . This plan of evading the payment of rent , or of preventing a distress on the lands is being generally adopted , and hitherto with complete success . It therefore remains to be seen after this warning , how far the proprietors of laud aud the publio authorities can co-operate to prevent ita being carried into practical effect generally . " :

Londos Corn Market , Mosd&T , Sept . 11 . — Daring last week very considerable progress was xaade in harvest work , and the arrivals of all grain up to our market , if' we except those of foreign Wheat , were on a very moderate sca ' e . Wo have received a full average supply of" New Wheat from Estex and Kent tbe quality of which was inferior . Old Wheat of home produce being scarce , the prices obtained were quite equal to those obtained on Monday last ; but in order to effect sales of new parcels the factors were compelled £ 0 submit to a decline on previous rat » 3 of from 19 to 2 s per quarter , and a clearance was not effected . In fine foreign Wheat % very extensive business was transacted . There was a good supply of fine foreign Barley , which met a slow inquiry . The Malt trade was dull . In Oats a fair amount of bosiness was transacted . Beans , Peas , and F ' our as last quoted , wish little doing .
Borough am > Spitalfields —Tne imports of Foreign Potatoes continue so extremely small as to be scarcely worthy of notice . From Essex , Kent , &c , fair average titna-of-ye&r supplies have come to hand in condition , while the demand is firm , at from 3 d to 5 s 6 d per owt . > gggga BoiiOUGH Hop Market . —Since our last report four pockets of now Hops have been disposed of at prices varying from £ 7 15 a to £ 8 8 s per cwt . The quality of fhe hops in question was very good , and we learn i-hat picking is now becoming pretty general . From most of thehop districts the accounts ara favourable , and the duty in consequence has advanced to . £ 150 , 000 . In old Hops scarcely any business is doing , and prices are again lower . Tallow—This market is very dull and inactive For forward delivery the price is rather higher than on the spoi ; for the spring mouths , it ia 42 s . 6 d .
Wool Markets—For bo-. h English and Foreign Wools there is a very steady inquiry ; and in 6 omo instances , rather improved rates have been paid for the finest combing qualities . Altogether the market is healthy . Since our last , the imports have comprised 271 bales from Odessa ; 62 from Hamburgh ; 523 from Port Beaufort ; and 10 , 00 from Sydney . Liverpool , Cobs Market , Monday , Sept . 11 . — The impor : s of Grain , & ., sinco this day se ' nnight are of very moderate amount : 3000 qrs . of Wheat and 800 qrs . of Peas are reported from Dantzig . The duty on Wheat remains at 14 * . per quarter until Friday next , when an advance ia expected . With a week of exceedingly fine weather great progress has been made in harvest operations throughout the
kingdom , and prices of all descriptions ef grain have given way . Tho genera ' runa of foreign Wheat havo declined in value by 3 i . to 4 . per bushel , whilst the finer qualities have receded rather more ; of the former , however , soma parcels were on Friday Jakea on speculation , and two or three purchases were made for Ireland . A few small lota of Irish new Wheat have sold av 7 s 3 d to 7 s 6 d ; the neighbouring farmers have delivered freely at 7 s to 7 s 6 d per 701 bs ; the quality and condition of their samples generally good , some fine . No change as regards Four ; the quantity on the market small , Old Oats have been neglected , and are Id to 2 d per bushel cheaper . Prime marks of old Meal have latterly had a little more demand at 19 ; to 193 6 d per 2401 bs ; new has sold at 22 * 61 to 23 s . Of new Oats we
have had this week scarcely any at market ; they are quoted at 2 s 5 d to 2 s 7 d per 45 ! bs . Barley , Beans and Peas , are each rather cheaper . Manchester Corn Market , Satobdat , Sept . 9 . The weather has been of the most delightful character since our last report , and we hear , from all parts * that the crops are being secured in excellent order . During the week there was a fair consumptive demand for choice qualities of fresh manufaotui ed Flour , which , being scarce , readily realized our previous currency , whilst inferior descriptions were almost unsaleable . The inquiry for Oatmeal was very limited , without change in value . Of Oats and
Flour , the imports from Ireland into Liverpool and Kuncorn are to a fair extent , but of other articles thence and coastwise they are unimportant ; aud , from foreign ports , 3008 quarters of Wheat are reported . The busintss passing in Wheat at our market this morning was only limited , and was 2 d . per 701 bs . lower . For superfine qualities of Flour ( of which the stocks in all hands are extremely light ) there was a moderate demand at 42 j . to 44 s . per 280 ibs . ; but inferior sorts continued to meet a slow sale , although offered on lower terms . In Oats or Oatmeal no change was observable . New Oatmeal was saleable in retail parcels at 243 . per 2401 bs .
Liverpool Cattle Market , Mondav , Sept . II . —We have had a heavy supply of Cuttle at market to-day , which met with dull sale at a little variation in price . Beef 4 £ d . to 5 $ d . Mutton 4 £ d . to 5 ^ d ., Lamb od . to 5 hd . per lb . Number of Cattle at market : —Beasts 1533 , Sheep 7573 . London Smithfield Catile Market , Mondaf Sept . 11 . —We have to report the arrival of a fair average supply of beasts . The beef trade was decidedly more animated than for some weeks past , and in a few instances a trifling advance was obtained fot the primest qualities . However , the highest quotation obtained for the best Soots did aot exceed 4 i . per 81 bs ., but at that figure a good clearance wa 3
easily effected . The numbers of Skeep were good , but by no means extensive . There was certainly a better feeling iu the Mutton trade , and the currencies obtained on this day se ' nnight were freely supported —those of the best old Downs realizing from is . t » 4 s , 4 d . per 81 bs . Lambs were in good supply , and the quotations bad , in some instances , an upward tendency . The Veal trade was again steady , aud the best Calves produced 4 s . 8 d . per 8 ibs . Pigs were in moderate supply , and the quality of the stock was inferior . Iu store stock scarcely anything was doing . The imports of Foreign Beasts , since Monday last , have been confined to twenty-five , into London , by the Batavia steamer , from Rotterdam .

( F / O 7 Q the Times . J Eu , Fiudai , Sept . &—The last public display consequent npon the visit !<« her Mnjesty took place this day in front of the Chateau—namely , a review of the Carabiniers and 1 st Light Infantry , before their departure for the quarters thi ' ey occupied previously to the royal visit , and the distribution of decorations of the Legion of Honour to the officers and soldiers who had most distinguished themselves since the arrival of her Majesty . j At eleven o ' clock this forenoon the three squadrons of Carabiniers and the elite companies of tha 1 st Light Infantry now here marched into the grand court-yard ot the Pala . co , with their band at their bead . At a quarter to twelve e ' elock the King descended into the
quadrangle , habited in the costume of a marshal of Fr . inCe , and mounted on his superb white charger . In attendance on his Majesty were bis Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale ( in the uniform of the African Chasseur ) , his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier , General Test * ( commanding this military division ) , the aides-decamp and officers in attendance on bis Majesty and > he Princes , and several other superior officers not on service . After tbe King had passed through tbe ranks of tbe regiments , his Majesty placed himself in the centre of the quadrangle , in front of the balcony , on which by this time wore her Majesty the Queen of the French , their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Adelaide and de Joinville , the Perfect of tbe department of the Lower Seine , M .
