Tit! YILERDOII 01 TUN CITT. The motion of Mr. Bone, that it be referred to tho freedom committee to prepare • bill for extending the franchise at ward elections having been withdrawn, the court proceeded to consider the report delivered in on the 21st of October, on the conference with the committee of Aldermen. Deputy llaausox, in • speech of considerable length, took that opportunity of defending the proceedings of the freedom committee, of which he is the chairman. The statements made by the worthy deputy were preciaely sinti• lar to thlso he has repeatedly urged, which have from time to time appeared in this journal ; their republication, therefore, is unnecessary. Mr. Cox, in analysing Deputy Harrison's defence of the proceedings of the committee, contended that sufficient en, rgy had not been evidenced. He also stated that it was his opinion that the resolution of the Court of Aldermen, paired in ISO, which had been raised as • bar against carrying out the instructions of the court to proceed with certain prosecutions against non-free retail tradesmen in the city, was not applicable in the present instance. Ile would therefore move as • substantive motion, " that the report of the 2lst of October be referred beck for execution." Mr. H. I . TAYLOR seconded the motion. He via of opinion that Use committee had acted timidly, instead of courageously, by insisting upon the report being carried out in all its iategrity. Mr. Deputy Bowan defended the 'abduct of the commit tee in the nai of considerable wialisioa. When the up roar was at its height. The Loan MAYOR roes end said—Oestlemen, if you will bear with ese, es this is the Area time I have bad the honour of sitting in this chair, Weibel, sad dispassionately enter- tabling the quad's beim, you, I shall be exceedingly' glad ; and I promise you that I will devote myself to the arabisot to the utmost of me power. (Cheers.) Mr. BaNnocit was of opinion that to open a crusade against the retail dealers of the City would prove to be a most unwise course, sod be productive of much mischief; for, instead of such a policy peeving advantageous, it would be positively ruieidal. sad unworthy of the times in which we live. (Hear.) lie, therefore, would oppose the motion of Mr. Cos. Mr. T. 11. lIALL was in favour of that motion, as was also Deputy PILWIkUS, on the ground that as every other attempt to animus the franchise having failed, probably proceeding to the extremities contemplated would awaken the public mind to the necessity of action in the matter. Mr. W. BAILSZA denounced the whole of the proceedings en the question by the corporation to be wrong, and espe cially unjust lathe livery companies and the liverymen, of whom there were belonging to the city not less than 14,000 persons who possessed peculiar privileires, but whose Age's had sever been considered by the promoters of the ball for extending the franchise. Mr. Ef.f.torr proposed sass amendment that the court peeper* another hell, which Mr. Brooke was about to sewed ; the Town-Clerk, however, said that notice of such Metiers must fist be given, so that the proposition failed. Merman LAWLINCI followed at great length, and in a WWI et mesh vehemence. He denounced the whole et the preserllese in unmeasured terms, and in the midst • of a awe et the most painful ocinfween, daring which the Lewd Mayer tales ordered the public to be ezelnded from lie diantaisa.

NORTM But nail ItinCT or ♦ BANKING COll-P-AN;; This was an appeal brought by the North British Bank ing Company, which was established in Glasgow in the year 1844, and th ales Hutcheson, the regists red cashier of the company, if the respondent, Edward Collins, paper-maker, of Kelvindale, near Glasgow. The appeal was brought again*: certain interlocutory judgments pro nounced by the Court of Ses..on in Scotland in action brought by the present reepocdent, who was a shareholder in the company, against the appellants, the object of which was to obtain a decree of the court declaring a dissolution of the company called the North British Bank, and to ob tain the proper ordyrs of the court for caming that dissolu tion into e ff ect, The North British Bonk was esta blished under a special contract of co-partnership, which nrovided attempt other things that the business of the company should be strictly limited to banking, that it should be a bank of issue ; that the management should be in seven din cton, who were to present an annual report of the affairs of the company; and by the 54th article of the contract it was ',royal, J that it should be in the power of three-fourths of of ionsl shareholders at a general meeting to dmaolve the coop iny ; and it was also expressly provided that " at any time it s hould be found, on balancing the hooks of the company, that losses hail bran sustained equal to the whole of tle• reserved surplus fund, and also to 25 per mat. on the advanced capital stock, such loss should, ipso facto, and, without the amenity of any further procedure, dissolve the company." The company, being established on Chia footing, proceeded to do business ; but, as alleged by the respondent, with a loss from the first, which went tan increasing year by year, although the re. ports of the directors showed an annual profit. At the geiteral erecting ou the 14th of February, 1849, the re spendent lodged a formal protest declaring the pro ceedings of the directors illegal, and alleged that the lames of the company had reached twenty five per cent. on the advanced capital stock, and that therefore the company was, ipso hcto, dissolved, and that notice, of seek dissolution ought to be given. This not being dine the respondent brought his action on 13th April, 1849, by the 6111011110111., in which he offered to prove that the event coutemplated by the contract, as operating as an ipso facto dissols•ion of the company, had occurred, namely, that their tomes had amended the reserve surplus fund and 2.1 per cent. of the capital stock, and praying a decree that the osespony should be declared dissolved from 14th Feb ruary, 1544. On 9th November, 1830, the Lord Ordinary rrelienneed an interlocutor, by which he remitted to an esseetataat in Edinburgh to examine the books and reports of the directors at and previous to Febniare, 1849, rod to report whether the reports of the directors and balanets of the hooks were true and correct, or I/ erroneous, to what eatent and hawhat nvetter ; and whether it appeared from tbe bleat s Mr weld be ascertained, that at or previous to 3114 December, 1848, the losses of the company had been equal to the reserved surplus fund and also to 23 per cent. of the capital stock. The then defendants appealed to the lest division of the motet, which confirmed the inter locutor of the Lord Ordinary. When the case re turned to the Lord Ordinary, the then defenders re fused to produce their book, and persisting, a warrant was granted by the Lord Ordinary, which the ap p llants refused to obey, and thus exposed themselvea to a warrant of imprisonment ; and tha order was also affirmed by the Meier house &railed these several interlocutors the prevent appeal wee brought. The grounds of the appeal were, that the court ought not to have entertained the respondent's applimtion for investigation, and enforced it by warrant, until after the appellants' defences and ideas to the summon. had been disposed of, which had not been done; that the allegations in the summons did not rapport the cause of action, and that the maintaining of the action was excluded by the contract of pat tncrship, that contract having provided the redrew and procedure open to any die satisfied shareholder. Mr. Bothell and Mr. Anderson appeared for the appal. lents, and couteeded that the Lord Ordinary, without giv ing any judgment in the action, had made the whole cause of action the subject of inquiry by the accountant, and that there was nothing to juatity oath an inquisitorial investiga tion, which would throw open the whole slides not only of the hank, but of every individual shareholder and depositor, and in fact have the i ffect of shutting up the bank, as all its ordinary means of transacting business were removed from Glasgow to Roioburgh. With regard to the allegation that the losses of the bank were caused by the fraud and misdirection of its business by the directors, if that were so, the summons did not apply to the 54th article of the contract, for the loss was only such as could be recovered against the directors, and had not accrued in the course of the business of the company. The Lord Advocate, with whom was Mr. Rolt, was open ing the argument for the respondent, when their lordship. rat!, and the further hearing of the cam was postponed until this day (Friday).

Mr. Faber said that upon the death of the lunatic his property became divi ~,, le amongst numerous oartics, some of whom were resident nt Oswego, in the United States of America, and whose title we, evidenced by an affidavit sworn before the judge of the county court there. This affidavit was on the face of it quite regular, but had not been placed on the files of the court. Their lordshile said that the affidavit, before it could be received ins evidence, must he placed on the files of the court. If they objected at the office to file it, an applica tion most then be made to the court upon the subject. They suggested that Is: e a avoided necessity y y of ns making g a t/t il l:11 n s affidavit court n th e e atiii t in the cause, and producing the deposition of some person that he bad read the statements of the affidavit and be lieved them to be true. The more regular course, how ' ever, was to file the affidavit. Is as Dutonsing. In this case it appeared that upon Lady Dinorben ,being appointed ouc of the committees of the estate of the late Lord Dinorben, she, iostead of giving the usual security, bad deposited in court the sum of 20,0001. Before, how ever, any grant of the estate could be made the lunatic died. The presented petition was then presented for payment out of court to Luis. Dinorben of the sum of 20,000(., toge ther with any dividends which might have accrued thereon. It appeared that her ladyship was about to take out letters of administration of the estate of the late lord. _ The order asked wh;;;;;Ie,1;ett07 - t;geffect only on the poodeeties of letters of adetialotestics.

This ease, which was a charge of conspiring to defeat the ends of jostler, was resumed this morning by the address of Sir Alexander Cockburn to the jury on behalf of the de fendant, the Rev. Chutes Probert. The:learned gentleman commenced by going over the beads of the evidence, given in our impression of yesterday, briefly adverting to the cit.- : mimstances under which the card cheating at Brighton took place. The evidence, he contended, proved one fact beyond all doubt, viz., that Ham!) was in a very great degree under the influence of the Brooms That influence alone could explain his conduct with reference to the card cheating cue at Brighton. Fur a time the resentment he felt at the frau dulent conduct of the parties concerned in that transaction was sufficient to overcome the power which they ex ercised over him ; but in a short time ho was found inviting J. Broome to his house again, and not only making statements exculpating that individual, but actually swearing to an andavit which the evidence showed war an affidavit of Broome's innocence. The learned counsel then argued that Mr. Protect saw that Mr. Hemp bad got himself into a great difficulty through this andavit, having, on the one hand, sworn before the magistrate that John Broome was guilty ; and, on the other hand, made this affidavit of his innocence. Mr. Probert, ignorant of the law, and not acquainted with the world, was anxious to help his ward out of the miser able dilemma into which he had fallen. He then gave a species of went to that arrangement which wee stated to be a hindrance to the course of justice. But, having looked at the defendants' side of the question, he would ask who wens the prosecutors? In feat, the true prosecutor wee the very man who had been and was the subject of the prosecution fee cheating at 1111116. After the arrangement with the defendants at the meter Hotel wee empte me l that very mac gave dinthithe to step the dews. it be said then that be dew males se ref teesseles Following the came of IMMO it wee Mad NM at the trial Ramp was, esestffing M nenengenninat. not present; the learned di t= towage,. swwees. ing ail was set right, the w =trallee' clerks to preseentee, and thus the ing over J.

The learned gentlemen this Oa the very evi dence itself showed clearly that a OS ash piss at the Exeter Tavern was done with the ethl specnr ream of J. Broome, who now turner=sppeww his co delinquents. He (the learned counsel) eanired hie client had erred; but it was indeed Mange that that error should be sought le be punished by the very mac who was a party to, sal the °sly pass benefitted b it. The first set of sea* of the 'skeins, *barged the defendants with a to shear* the Sears of justice.

Thus I woe the bent, cadOM Moot Indeed se deist et the Olio et Justly& wee me Ito gale Womble of Mr. Pre bert in relation to tke Hemps. The very visit to Boulogne which bad been named an often, wee made by Mr. Probert in outer to get the brother of Hemp out of gaol Title un fortunate Mr. I'robrrt, a simple country clergyman, had born drawn front his home, from the faint quietude of his duties—daties which he had hitherto fulfilled without reproach, and, worse than all, his own SOU had been led into a course of dissipation through his being appointed guardian to the Ramps, which charge in en evil moment he had undertaken. This prosecution wes the I crowning stone of this unhappy aeries of octorreneer, and be trusted that the jury by their verdict would not only show that they viewed his client's position n o t s o muc h as the e ff ect of delinquency as of misfortune, but would also get rid of one of the most scandalous prosecutions ever instituted. Mr. Skinner, in the absence of Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, whirrs/red the jury on behalf of Mr. Hemp, and Mr. Haw kins on behalf of Mr. Watkins. Lord Campbell, in summing up, said the case was one of the greatest importance. It was above everything neces sary that the stream of justice should flow un disturbed. Ile was afraid that witnesses were fre quently bought off, whereby truth wasnot discovered. His lordship wished them to consider well the speeches of the learned gentlemen who had addressed them; at the same time they must not overlook the evidence. There could be no doubt but that the verdict would turn upon the amount of credit to be given to the witnesses. If they were believed, but little difficulty arose ; but it was to be re membered that they appeared there a• accomplices in the illegal practice which they called upon the wart to p un i s h. It was for the jury to decide what credence was to be given to them. His lordship then went through the eel deuce. After which he said that, of course, in a cue like the present, witnesses of the highest character were most unlikely to appear ; but whatever might be their opinion of thou who bad been brought ferwanl by the prosecution in the present instance, the undoubted facts certainly went to corroborate their testimony. Compassion would, without doubt, bo felt for Mr. Hemp, who had been led astray by evil company. His lordship certainly thought Mr. Probrrt ought not to have mixed himself up in such a transaction as that which occurred at the Exeter Hotel. No friendship for Mr. Hemp could jus. tify such a proceeding. The evidencoagainst Watkins cer tainly showed he took an active share in the matter. A juror inquired whether his lordship thought there was sufficient evidence of a cheque being handed over to Mr. Hemp? Lord Campbell thought it was clearly a feet ascertained that the cheque was given ; for what purpose the verdict of %limper,. would tend to show. The jury then After an hour's absence they re-entered the court, and The Foreman said—We find the three defendant. Guilty; we beg most strongly to recommend them to the mercy I t the court, u we firmly and unanimously believe that they have been the victims of a base and infamous °empiric). Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Iluddl:ston asked his lordship to order the documents produced at the trial to be retained in court. Mr. Parry objected ; there was no ground for such an application. Lord Campbell said he should direct the memorand u m of receipt given by Ramp to be retained in court. H e reserved sentence that ho might have the opinion of the other learned judges in term time. He had only to state to the gentlemen set the jury that their recommendation to mercy should be well considered before sentence was paused. Verdict of Guilty against all the defendants.

This was the certificate meeting in the ease of Thoniu Severs, woollen cloth werehoweinan, of Hasinghall•etrect. His accounts extended over five years and a half prior to the failure in June lest, and showed a sum of 11,218!. due to unsecured creditors, 4,0901. to those holding security, and 13,6971. of liabilities. The assets were put down at 1,646/. in good debts, and 2,9401. in property ; property held by creditors 2,6061. The 'mounts commenced with a deficiency of 7,6604 Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said he was not in structed to oppose. In justice to the bankrupt he must state that the moment he felt difficulties coming upon him he had placed himself in communication with his creditors; and since his Isilure he had laudably exerted himself in realising the smuts. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the bankrupt, stated that the large deficiency with which the balance-sheet commenced was mainly composed of a debt due to his uncle, which he did not believe would ever be called for ; nor was this the case, for the uncle, on his death, bad made him his raj deery legatee . His failure had arisen from the altered mode of conducting the woollen businesa in London, where. by the services of agents were to a great extent dispensed with. The assets were large; and the bankrupt hoped to receive an immediate certificate. Many of the creditors were members of the bankrupt's family and personal friends —the assignee being the principal trade creditor. His Honour said he thought the deficiency of 7,6601. bad been satisfactorily explained ; but the expenses had been so very heavy that he telt compelled to mark his displeasure by adjourning the certificate for 3 months—when granted, to be of the second class.

Roman catholic priest, of Webb-street Chapel, New Wrswn•street, Bermondsey, was summoned for committing an assault on Mary Murphy, an Irish woman. The complainant, a young woman with an infant in her arms, upon being sworn, stated that she now lives in Palmer's-rents, Snow's-fields, Bermondsey, and that her husband is a labourer. On last Sunday three weeks she gam birth to a child while lodging at the house of a Mrs. Harrington, in Ebenezer-place, Bermondsey. She knew the Rev. Mr. Donovan, the defendant, and he called upon her last Friday while she was sitting by the fire with her child in her arms, and asked her if she was the woman that the man fell upon by accident while drunk, and she replied that she was. Ho then inquired if she bad a child christened lately. She said that she had, and he asked by whom, and she answered by the Mos. Ms. Armstrong, the protestant clergyman. The Melment the mentioned Dr. Armstrong's name, the defen, EOM Omsk bar on the side of her head with an umbrella, owl oselaintod, " Don't you think you have sent your sent tbo devil?"

The landlady at first said mains la reply, but when he repeated the question she said that she would make her and her child quit the house. The defendant then asked her (complainant) if any ladies had called upon her since her confineme n t, and she said yes; and he then inquired if they had brought her any thing; and upon her replying in the affirmative, he asked her if she thought she was doing her soul good by accepting of charity front them, they being protestant'. She said that she was poor, and thankful for the assistance she received ; and he then advised her not to take any more from them, and left the room. The complainant, cross-examined by Mr. Solomon', on behalf of the defendant, said that she was a married woman, but that she had not the certificate of her mar riage. She was married at Pembroke, is Wales. She bad relief from the defendant the third day after her confine ment. He gave her a shilling. She had also relief from the nuns belonging to the convent in Bermondsey. Mr. Solomons—Of what religion are you ? Complainant said she was a Homan catholic before her marriage, but that since that event she had become a pro teetant. Mr. Solomon, ' , died her if she knew the difference be tween the two religions? Mr. A'Beekett said that putting suet a question would ably peule the woman, and that he bad better only ask Ur those having reference to the alleged smanlt. Mr. Solomons said that the facts were, the bad practised a good deal of conning hard undarV i s isla nie: of religion. She wsa catholic and protestant, J u n as it suited her, to obtain what she required. Me. Watson, for the prosecution, said this m1'111410% and, in answer to the bench, stated that he did not propose to call witnesses. _ Mr. Solomon., on behalf of the defendant, also expressed his intention not to call any witnesses, observing that in point of law it could not be denied teat an assault had been committed, If gently touching the comet .inapt with an umbra's cou , d be construed into a br, arch of the peace. The facts were these—his cheat was rent fur to relieve the complainant, and he had reason to suspect she would not declare where the father of her child was to be found, he questioned her closely upon the point, and as it was evident she was telling falsehoods ho rebuked her, at the ',me time gently touching her on the shoulder with his umbrella. This was the assault, and that with respect to the language attributed to the dettndant he sol:•mnt assured him that there was not one word of truth in it. ft was obvious that the character of the complainant for veracity could not be much depended upon, in tre particularly u no witnesses had been called to support her testimony. lie should, therefore, leave the case in the hands of the magistrate. Mr. A'lleckett expressed some surprise that no witnesses were called on either side, and said that under the eircum• stoners ho should send the case before a jury without making any remarks himself on the subject, and for this purpose should order the defendant to enter into his own recognisance's in the sum of 100 i. to appear and answer the charge at the sessions.

Considering the almost unprecedented heig`at of the floods, the damage upon the whole has been 111CO011is dentate ; but should it he followed by a long fro , t, or should we have any other than dry open weather during the next two months, little more wheat can be sown until the spring. when there is considerable uncertainty, if it can be then planted under circumstances fay. urahle to a good crop neer ear;y indeed the spring-sown wheat is seldom so productive as that planted in the au tumn. Our fanners having had latt:e to do but thrash for some weeks past, have brought forward both old and new wheat freely, particularly the for mer. The new has generally b. en in very had condition, although not worse than might have been expected after such an unfavourable harvest and subsequent wet weather. The demand for consumption has been large, and though we believe that our millers have not increased their stocks, our prices have generally improve d about 2s. per quarter, and still more on inferior new qualities. Much con fi dence exists that our present rates will be fully maintained, if not exceeded; an impression that we think is well founded, specially as there has already been some inquiry from the north of France, and a fuw purchases made for that dis trict ; and from all tile information we can collect there is greet probability that France will require considerately im ports, and some of the oldest houses in the trade there ex pect prices to be very high, having already advanced in many of the ports during the last few weeks 2s. to 3.. per quarter, and the purchases on French account in Italy have caused such an increase in the value of wheat that it is ex pected the King of Naples will prohibit the export. The rates recently obtained for cargoes of all descriptions of wheat on the coast are too high to leave any margin for profit on our markets,and considering the large proportion of our own wheats which were injured by the weather at harvest, it is remarkable that the inferior descriptions of foreign continue to bring relatively so high a price, compared with the beat samples: Egyptian has recently realized, by weight, within Is. to 2s. per quarter of the value of good Danube wheat Foreign quotations are all too high to leave any profit for importing, unless a further advance take place in this country. The stock of wheat at Gloucester has rather increased, being now about 75,000 quarters, principally Black Sea and Mediterranean, not of first quality. Our present prices arc old English wheat, white be. to fia. 4d. ; new, ss. 4d. to Gs ; old, red, ss. M. to 6s. ; new, ss. to ss. Gd., per 621b5., at Birmingham. Polish Odessa, &I. Id. to ss. 51.; Danube, ss. to 51. 2d. ; Barletta, ss. 7d. to fre. 9d.; bard, 4s. W. to 5.., per 62Ibs. at Glouces ter. We have had a good demand for barley for grinding purposes, and all descriptions are nearly cleared off at Gloucester ; but the high relative price it has realized induced oar farmers to thrash freely, and it has recently given way Is. per quarter ; there is however still a tolerably free sale, but the consumption for feeding almost invariably falls off greatly by the end of the year. African is worth 235. 6d. to 245. 6d.; French, 275. to 285.; Danish, 28s. to 295. per 3921b5. at Birmingham. We believe there is some quantity of this grain on the way to Glouces ter. The stock there is only 6,400 quarters. The arrivals of oats during the month have been limited, and the con sumption large, owing to their being relatively cheaper than barley and beans: the quantity left in store at Glou cester is very trifling, and they have imprcved in value about Is. per quarter. We do not hear of many on the passage, but our farmers will now bring a greatly increased supply to market. Irish sell at 18s. to 19s. Gd. for white , grey, IBs. to 18s. Gd.; black, 17e. to 17s. 9el. ; Dutch, 22a. 6d. to 23a. Gd.; all per 3121b5. at Gloucester. The demand fur all descriptions of beans has continued fully equal to the supply, with only a trifling variation in price. There are scarcely any left at Gloucester, and few expected at that port; our farmers' deliveries however increase, and the quantity wanted will soon be so reduced that we doubt if their present value be main tained. English old are worth 15s. to 15s. 6d. ; new 13e. 3d. to 13a. Pd. ; Egyptian, 13s. Gd. to 14.. ; Dutch, 14s. 31. to 14s. Gd. per 1961b5. at Birmingham. Few French on the market, but more daily expected. No stock on band of any kind. Peas have been less in request during thi put month, and sell slowly at 13s. &I. (or new grey ; up to 14s. Gd. to 15e. for old white, per 1961ba. Our farmer's supplies of this article are good, nd we expect the quantity offering will shortly exceed the demand. The imports of wheat, for the nine months of this year ending October 10, into the United Kingdom, were 1,994,734 qrs. against 3,377,208 qrs. during the same period in 18.51; and the total imports of all kinds of corn and flour for sante time were 5;583,196 qn., against 8,258,857 qrs. in 1&51.-(From Mums. Bturge'a Monthly Circular.) CORN.-Brutimoxam, Deo. 2.-At Worcester market, on the 27th ult., en advance of Is. per qr. was established on all descriptions of wheat, but without any life in the trade. At Gloucester same day, a largo business was done at a similar rise. Barley, 6d. to le. per quarter lower, and little progress could be made at the decline. On oats, the turn was in favour of the seller. Bemis maintained their value. Peas, Is. per quarter cheaper. During the present week, much higher prices were demanded fur wheat, and Is. per quarter more money realised on the sales made. Barley tending downwards. o.its unaltered. Beans fi rm . Peas less inquired for. At this day's market there was a largo supply of wheat, anti the trade ruled dull at about Is. per quarter above the currency of this day se'nnight. Bar ley, Is. per quarter lower, and difficult to quit in quantity. Oats sold fully as well as this day week. Beans rather lower. Peas neglected. Butetut., Dec. 2.-Our market to-day has been but ill supplied with English wheats, and those offering have been for the most part out of condition-many parcels to a very considerable extent. The reports from the agricultural districts a•onnd this city are anything but cheering, the late almost incessant rains and the consequent overflow of rivers and rivulets have so flooded the land upon low districts as completely to interfere with the operations of the husband men. We had a lair consumptive demand to-day, and all descriptions of English wheat advanced from 2s. to 3s. per imperial quarter. Foreign parcels participated in the im provement, and values were fully 2s. per quarter dearer than at last week's market. The advance upon wheat pro duced its natural effect upon tho sale of flour, which was dearer by 2s. per sack for English seconds, and Is. 6d. per barrel for American and other foreign. Malting barley continues in good request, and sells readily at our quota ' lions. Grinding parcels also meet with sale at un altered values. Fur oats there is a steady sale, and last week's currencies are well eupportcd, a remark which will also apply to beans. The prices were:-English new wheat, 365. to 46.. per imperial quarter ; ditto, old ditto, 465. to 525. per ditto; foreign, white, 475. to 60a. per 480Ibs. ; ditto, red, extra hue qualities, 455. to 475. per ditto ; ditto, fine qualities, 435. to 45e. per ditto; ditto, ordinary qualities, 41s. to 425. 6d, per ditto ; foreign, hard, 395. to 41s. per ditto; English seconds flour, 335. to 355. per sack; United States, &e., sweet, 255. to 26e. 61 per barrel. English malting barley, 345. to 375. per im perial quarter; English and foreign grinding ditto, 235. to 281. per 400Ibs. Devon and Welsh feed oats, 17s. to 18s. per imperial quarter; Irish white, ditto, 19s. to 20s. 61. per 3201b5. ; Irish black ditto, 17s. 64. to 17s. 9d. per imperial quarter. English beans, 365. to 40e. per imperial quarter; foreign ditto, 231. to 365. per 480Ibs. 'the arrivals on shipboard for the week have been :-Wheat, 1,260 quarters ; oats, 6,040 barrels ' • barley, 2,364 quarters 2,010 barrels ; flour, 450 sacks 899 barrels. The official return of the corn inspector gives the following averages:- Wheat, 40s. 14.; oats, 18e. Id.; barley, 325. 9d.; beaus, 375. 9d. Devizes, Dee. 2.-We had a small supply of Wheat, the new being still in very bad condition ; but both old and new sold very readily at an advance of fully 21. per qr. above last week's prices; a clearance being effected early. Barley was in large supply ; the trade was very flat, and for all but tip-top qualities a reduction of from Is. to 21. I per v. had to be Intimated to. In Oats, Beans, and Peas no alteration to note. Wheat, white, per qr., 545. ' • beet ' red, 495. to 61s. • middling, 411. to 495. • inferior, 30s. to 411. Barley, 28e. to 38s. Oats, 18s. to iBs. Huss, Sis. MARKETS. COTTON.—Liviarout., Bac. 2.—Tho se. of cotton to.day we estimated at 6.000 hales. 1,000 taken by spocula tore. The sales comprise 130 Pernam. and Maranhao, at 6fd. to 7d.; 60 Bahia, 61d. ; 300 Egyptian, GO. to Old. • 100 Surat, 4d to 4111. Imports since TillarmiaY r 24.0&. The market closes tamely, but with firmness. Compared with Friday's rates, price. of American and Surat are id. to Id. deartr ; all other sorts uneltangtd, except Sea Islands, which continue to keep from Id. to Id. lower. MANCIKEBTIR, Dec. 2.—The caution manifested by buyers in this market, after the arrival of the advicea from the United States, ou Tuesday, still it.fluences their opera tions. The market tn•day has consequently been quiet, but prices remain tolerably steady. Yesterday and to-day, spinners butte been el. minding somewhat higher rates for berns, but the smaller business in Liverpool has ca use d uyers to hold aloof fur the present, in the expectation that prices may yet be reduced. At large orders are known to be held in abeyance until prices shall have sunk to their lowsst 'eve., manufacturers are ivit at all ikspoi.dent, but look forward with consider.thle cheerfulness to the probable resumption of an active business after the tutu of the year, at a slightly lower range of prices, which the altered rates of cotton will, it is thought, full allow. " The settlement of the cotton market," says a trade circular just issued by one of our mercantile houses " is alone wanted fora revival of business." WOOL—DKADFuItIi, Dee. 2.—There is a good supply at present in the market, but staplers bold fur higher ;abets than the spinners are prepared or willing to gist,— Brod. ford 06aerrer. MANUFACTURES.— littaltroun, Dec. 2.—Yarns : The turn of the market is road( ntly in favour of the wpin ners, who are dcosandirg higher prices, and contracts for quantity are not favouvably received. Pieces: The manta farturers complain loudly of the continued advance in the rice of Yarn., both worsted and cotton, and declare that it impossible to make goods to a profit. No doubt their position is a perplexing one; but they are not without hope of realising an advance on their productions ere the month closes.—Bradford Observer. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. NOTTINUIIAM, Dee. 2.—Most branches of the Lice trade ere dull, u is usually the case at this period of the year, and with few exceptions little inquiry is MA. , for our goods. Americans still continue to purchase a few things, and silk laces ennct • fair deman,l in the home trade. For hosiery goods there is a brisk trade in nearly every department, e ,nsequeniiy full employment for all hands. The price of yarn remaila unaltered.—Volta Journal. to 42i.

The supply of barley was considerable, but not large for this period ; the prima of lust week generally sup;lorted. Oats, Beans, and Peas continue dull.
