The report of Captain Classes had now been in the hands of I the sisarehultlers for some days, sad they wouid be able , then fore, to form their own of Minn of it. contents.

It so hap pened that a itenelentso, who was a very high au.hority is =miter matters (a Mr. John Hutchins), was employed to survey the mines of the Clarendon Company of Jamaica, reed at the request of the directors that company had coa st tai' that Mr. Hutchins should survey the Metcalfe nome, on condition that 2504 should be paid for that gen tiemsn's services free of expense to the Clarendon Company, lie .uttstitted a resolu'ion in conclusion, confirming the roteedings of the directors in the matter, and s2proving the appointment of Mr Hutchins on the terms stated. A SR A ILEMULUtit suggested that a committee of share holders should be appointed to investigate and report upon the actual state of the company. After tome conversation, it was suggested that instead ut Mr. John Hutchins, some person unconnected with any other Janata mining company should be appointed specially by the directors to go to Jamaica to survey and report upon the mines; and the resolution was ultt mealy adopted, with an alteration to that effect, power being, however, given to the bourd to tnn,loy Mr. Hutchins, if they should experience any difiiculty in obtaining the services of another duly qualifieu person.

This would leave it open to the parties, if they thought right, to abandon the legacy in chambers. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—YEsniumy. UTILNUS WL.II:IWg. ANY SM. VIE (WIEN (ON TIM PROSECUTION OP FRANI) O. WILMER ♦tD ANOTHER-SLANDER LPON ♦ MARRIED LADY.--.C/LIXINAL INFOUX.VTIO2I. Sir F. Therager said he took the earliest possible oppor- I tunity of making an application for a rule to show cause why • crimical information should not be filed against Mr. Ed ward Wilmer and Mr. David Smith, the printers, pub lishers, and sole proprietors of • newspaper called the Liverpool Chronicle, for a most cruel libel upon the honour of • lady, by which the peace and happiness of a most respectable faini y had been shamefully bristled. The gen tlemen who was compelled to make this application was Mr. Frank, of Aigburth, in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. In 1847, that gentleman had married the only daughter of Sir John Bent, a gentleman residing at Edgehill, also in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. They bad lived together on the most affectionate term, and the conduit of the lady had always been most excellent. On Saturday last, Mr. Frank was calling upon his nsetber-in-law, Lady Beat, where he IM,I startled to learn that there were rumours current in the neighbourhood that his wife had been guilty of infidelity with a servant for merly in his establishment, and he was referred to Mr. Mould, at Liverpool, fur information on the subject. He immediately went to Liverpool, and Mr. Mould put into his hands the newspaper which contained thr paragraph complained of. (The learned counsel then read the para graph, which stated in effect that gossip had been making free this week with two cases of conjugal infidelity--one relating to a minister of the church, and the other to a family residing at Aigburth. After giving some particu lars about the first case, it went on to say that the Aig burth business was sti.i more distressing, from the position of the unfortunate lady, and an action was hardly likely to be brought, from the circumstance that the offender was a servant, not worth powder and shot. It was added that the event had given • great shock to the health of the lady's father, who possessed title, fortune. troops of friends, and all that could make life desirable.) Mrs. Frank, con tinued thelearned counsel, had been compelled to submit to the degradation, for so he mast call it, of utterly deny log that there was the slightest truth in any one of these imputations upon her honour. He also had proof of the publication of the paper, and that the parties against whom be applied wire the proprietors of it. Lord Campbell—l suppose your affidavit states that these are the parties meant by the paragraph. Sir F. Thesiger said his affidavits pointed out that this was the only family residing et Aigburtb to which the description would apply. There were no other married persons there one of whose parents had a title. Lord Campbell—You have evidence to show that these ate the parties intended ? Sir F. Thesiger—There is no doubt of it, my lord. Lord Campbell—Then von have affidavits that the" par- Use against whom you apply are the owners of the news paper ? Sir F. Thesiger—Yee, my lord, the usual evidence. He shield also mention that this newspaper was published every Saturday. He was making his application before the next publication took place. But in the mean time the parties bad thought proper to publish an *deer- Bautista, which be presumed they could hardly consider as amounting to an apology, in the Liver pool Standard and General Commercial Aber. fuser of Tuesday lest. It was beaded " Scandalous Reports." (The learned counsel thee reed the advertise ment, which stated that the Lirerpool Albion of that day made a reference to a paragraph in the Liverpool Chronicle I of the previous Saturday ; that the slander contained in that paragraph had its origin in the malignity of a discharged invent; that all respectable persons must regret a state ment originating in motives so base; that the statement had been industriously circulated and believed, and the Chroni de had inserted it amongst the gossip of the week, and that the proprietors of the Chronicle regretted the suffering which had been inflicted upon • respectable family, and voluntarily took that opportunity of stating that a retreeta tion would appear in the next publication of the Chronicle.) It did not seem to him (Sir F. Thesiger) that this was at all a sufficient apology. Lord Campbell—l do not think it disentitles you from having the ruse you pray for, whatever effect it may have upon a subsequent stage. Rule Nisi.

During the life of his former wife we were on terms of friendship. His wife died in the beginning of this year. On the 6th of August I saw the defendant in the evening. Ha then told me he had got my daughter's consent as a suitor, and he " axed " me for mine. I expressed my surprise, and said I could not think of such a thing, as there was such a great disparity of age. He ocrsietird, however, and at last got my consent. He said he would have my daughter whether I gave in or not. Mr. Justice Cromptoa—You found him so very warm that you gave is. Witness—l told him I was quite agreeable. He was very uneasy for marriage. I said to my daughter, " Mary, Mr. Hard wishes to marry you, do you think you can love him and;make him a good wife ?" She said, " I can." The defendant got up and held out his hand to her and she put her hand in his with a smack. I said that I considered them as good as married, and hoped they would be happy. I saw a little wine and water being made. I took • little drop teat. The defendant asked to have the marriage take place on the following Monday.

But, rather than submit to this Mr. Jerrold had chosen to undergo the annoyance and Sao trouble of defending the action, and to Ilee dragged before the public. He would positively contra. ' diet the plaintiff. The jury would find that his evidesc• would be corroborated by all the internal evidence of the case, by dates and by documents, and he (Mr. Hawkins) bad no doubt they would come to the conclusion that no I case had been substantiated against his client. Mr. Jerrold was then examined. He deposed that in December, 1849, Mr. Mayhew, • relative of his, asked hint for an introduction to his tailor, and he gave him the note produced. He had an interview with the plaintiff after wards, but bow soon he could not tell. It was within a few days.

He told plaintiff that at that time Mr. Mayhew had • good engagement, and that he would basafe to treat him to the extent of 10f. That was the pith of what took place. He said that Mr. Mayhew was reckless I and extravagant, and witness replied that then he had • good position on the Moe rang Chronick, which he had in point of fact.

In no care, at no time, and under no cireum. stances, did he order Andrews to supply the article.. Ile knew his own position with regard to Mayhew. Me was paying large debts for him, and of course he should not have taken fresh liabilities of his upon himself. He was asked to pay the bill until after he hail discontinued to deal with Mr. Andrews. The plaintiff was continually soliciting his custom. He told him that his charges were too high, and after this he was asked for this money. He had paid hundreds for Mayhew, or he might have paid this when asked. He told Andrews to sue Mayhew when he was in the Queen's Prison. Had he done so be would have been paid. He paid those which were against him then. In the account of 801.8 e., there were charges for clothes for hie two sons, one of age, the other under age. He was fifty years of age, and Mayhew was eight years younger. Mr. Mayhew was certainly not a "chicken," rather the contrary. (A lough.) When he settled his account, no mention was made at all of his being liable to this demand. Mrs. Jerrold had been subpcunaed by the I plaintiff. She was in attendance, hut not called. In crass-examination Mr. Jerrold said Mr. Mayhew, un fortunately, was his son-in -law,—be married his daughter. It was about ten years since the marriage took place.

He inquired into Mr. Maybew's circumstances, as to his means of payment, in consequence of which he deter mined not to give him credit; and he waited on Mr. Jerrold at his house at Putney, and told him that as Mr. Mayhew bad either be. n a bankrupt, or had taken the benefit of the Ins.lvent Act, and bad been living in a style of reckless extravagance and improvidence, he could not trust him. He asked Mr. Jerrold if it was not the same Mr. Mayhew as had been living at Fulham, to which an affirmative answer was given, sad then witness gave the name of the person who bail disclosed to him information relative to Mr. Mayhew in pecuniary matters. Mr. Jerrold said he always intended to be re sponsible himself to witness, who then told him that any undertaking of that sort must be in writing, as he had lost 501. by the person who introduced Mr. Jerrold to him, through takir.g a verbal instead of a written guarantee, as required by the Statute of Frauds. He told Mr. Jerrold that if he made the clothes for Mayhew, the order must be is writing. Mr. Jerrold replied that a man mast be a contemptible fellow whose word was not as good as his written promise, and one of them made the remark that in some cases the Statute of Frauds was made to again in fraud. Mr. Jerrold asked biro what clothes Mr. Mayhew required, and he enumerated them according to the order, and exactly as the account for them wu made out. He said they were more than he thought May hew required, but told him to make them, and no more. He told him that if he ordered the clothes for Mayhew there need be no writing. Mr. Jerrold or dered t h em , but it was understood that the account was to be entered specially in the books, and not mind up with Mr. Jerrold's own private account. (The books were here pro duced, and a discussion took place as to whether the entry could be received as evidence. It was excluded.) Witness was requested to do all he could te get Mr. Mayhew to pay the amount. Accordingly he did so, and made many appli cations to him, including two or three while he was in the Queen's Prison, without success. Mr. Jerrold told witness to sue Mayhew, and he would get his money, as he had received a large sum from the Crystal Palace Company. Ho did not do so. At Christmas, 1850, he sent his account in to Mr. Jerrold. That was his own account, and did not allude to the goods 'applied to Mr. Mayhew, because it was understood to be a separate account. The clothes were made and delivered to Mr. Mayhew, in Dean-street, Bar ton-crescent. (A letter from witness to the defendant was called for and read.) It contained in substance the evidence the plaintiff had given as to the giving of the order by Mr. Jerold penonelly ; and referring to an interview, when Mr. Jerrold emphatically said he "owed him nothing," and that " that was good Saxon." The articles made were a dress coat, • frock coat, two waistcoats, and two pairs of trowsers. They were charged 191. es., the same prices as Mr. Jerrold himself paid. When Mr. Jerrold told him he should get his money if he sued Mayhew, he replied that he could not sue him. Cross-examined—You heard that Mayhew was insolvent or bankrupt, do you think these fit things and charges for • man in that position ? Witness—You would think so if you had heard what Mr. Jerrold said of him. My last account with Mr. Jerrold was four years in being settled. The Under-Sheriff reprimanded the witness for 'ohm testing a statement which had nothing whatever to do with the issue. The learned L nder Sheriff summed up in his usual clear manner. H. observed that it certainly was remarkable that the plaintiff, who appeared to be well up in the law Lf guarantee, should not after his former experience have pressed for a written undertaking, and why was not some mention nude of the debt in the amounts between the plaintiff and Mr. Jerrold. The jury had • painful and difficult task to perform to say which side was most entitled to credit, and that was a question which fell en tirely within the province of •jtiry. After a few minutes' deliberation, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Cross-examination continued—No one was present when the conversation he had deposed to took place. It was in Mr. Jerrold's private study. He told him that Mr. May hew was wittieg for the Afonsinq Chronicle. He did not hear until afterwards that he was writing " London Labour and the London Poor." Mr. Jerrold told him that Mayhew was in a condition to pay. Mr. Jerrold did not owe him a farthing now, but be was four yean paying his last bill. The amount was 801. ss. Interest was charged upon it while it remained unpaid. Never lost a farthing by Mr. Jerrold He bad had several conversations with him in the streets on this subject. He could not say when, but he might have met him about a dusen times a year. He could not say that within six months alter the clothes were supplied he cam ' municated to Mr. Jerrold that he could not get the money from Mayhew, but be certainly must have told him if he saw him in that time. Did not send the account for the clothes to Mr. Jerrold till September, 1833. He did not write because he so frequently saw him. Had sent the ac count Diversl times to Mayhew. Mr. Jerrold told him that Mayhew would pay when some Chancery affair came to a settlement. Of Mr. Jerrold's own account of 801., 371. was incurred in 1850, and the whole amount was paid in August, 1831. Mr. Jerrold told him at their last interview he owed him nothing, and said that was good Saxon, and that was the reason he alluded to bad English in his letter. He son dallied that his charges were extravagant, but after the settlement in August, 1831, he said wituess was too dear for him, and ceased his custom. The date of the note of intro duction was 17th Dec., 1849. - . Evidence was given'of the delivery of the goods, and that considering Mr. Andrews' business, that of a West-end tailor, the prices were fair and reasonable. Mr. Hawkins, addressing the jary, said he did not dis pute that tres charges were such as a West-end tailor should 1 charge—that was not the question in the case—the point fur ' the decision of the jury being, did Mr. Jerroltl, for whom be had the honour to appear, ever mate himself respon sible to the plaintiff for these clothes. He commented on the manner in which the plaintiff had given his evidence, which he said was off-hand and flippant, and asked the jot to pause eve they took all be had said for granted, inasmuch as he would be completely contrac.icted by Mr. Jerrold, whose character as a man of honour ant veracity could not be impeached. If Mr. Jerrold had given his word that he would pay for these clothes, or Sad he ordered them, he would have paid the money without a murmur of course ; hut the plaintiff had wrongly stated what took place, and had placed before the jury • distorted view of the whole matter. Ile charged the ptaintiff with importing the asser tion about the four years amount into the case for the express purpose of prejudicing the jury against the defendant, who paid his debts honourably, and who, in August, 1811,:settled the plaintiff's account, paying him interest tit.xtu it, and setuslly 371. of that bill wee incurred only the year before, while the plaintiff would now teed the jury to inter that the whole had been owing four ye: rs. Did the note of introduction imply that Mr. Jerrold intended to hold himself responsible, when its terms were these : " Sir,-1 have much pleasure in introducing to you Mr. Henry Mayhew, • relative of mine, who is desirous of giving you an otd r—l am, ofte.—Dotionas JERROLD. I shall call upon you in the course of the week." these last words referring to as order which Andrews then had in hand fur Mr. Jerrold. The sole object of the first interview after Mayhew gave the order was, that Andrews should satisfy himself as to the means of Mayhew, wko at that time had • handsome engagement on the Morning Chronicle; so that it was not likely that Mr. Jerrold would take upon himself the liability he incurred to his tailor.

Margaret Broughton was charged with robbing Mr. Robert Warrick, a merchant, of 39, Upper Thames-street, of a gold watch and guard, valued at about 201. The prosecutor said—l wee r. turning home at an early hour this morning, when I was accosted by the prisoner between Temple-bar and St. Clement Danes Church. She asked me which was the way to St. Paul's, and as I was going in that direction, I allowed her to walk with me ; but on arriving at the end of the Old Bailey, on Ludgate-hill, I missed my watch and guard. I said nothing to the pri *Gael at the time, because I thought if she had stolen my watch, and I had charged her with it In the street, she would pass it away to some of her accomplices. Sir Peter Laurie—Wen you quite sober? Prosecutor—Perfectly so, sir. I did not wish to lose my watch, and I therefore pretended I wee going home with the prisoner, and took a cab for that purpose, but told the driver privately to drive direct to Bow-street ; and when we got there. I charged her with the robbery. Sir Peter Laurie—l am now quite convinced you were sober. The watch having been found in the cab, the prisoner was committed for trial. Richard Southel was summoned for unlawfully refusing to carry the complainant in his cab, when required to do so. Mrs. Agnes Dalrimple aid—l was in St. Martin's-le- Grand on the 9th inst., looking for a rib, and the defendant seeing me, called out, "Cab, ma'am ?" I asked him what he would take a friend and me to Camden-town fort He said half-a-crown, and I offered him 21., at the same time telling him that I had come the same distance for that sum, including the turnpike gates. The defendant then said he wee engaged, and could not take me. I walked to the stand to look for another cab, and the defendant per wiring my intention called out to them something I did not catch, whieb prevented the three first on the rank from accepting the hiring I offered them, and wee ultimately obliged to take en omnibus. I Sir Peter Laurie fined the defentlant 10s., and 3s. costs, which he paid. 0,11 VIVII VVVI ikTIVVV. Toe stewards ofthe 7 F;;te;nar Brother.' Benefit So ciety," held at the King George the Fourth, Guildford street East, Bagaigge Wells-road, appeared to a summons at the instance of Robert Moody, a member, fur having ex cluded him from the society without just cause. Mr. Wakeling attended for the complainant, and said his client had been a member of the society sines its establish ment in 1849, and paid up regularly. At a meeting of the stewards, however, he objected to a sum of 171. being taken from the funds of the society to get up a theatrical benefit, and the whole of the trustees not being present, be re monstrated with the stewards, and told them they bad no doubt bribed one of the trustees. For this they had excluded him, and fined him 61. Mr. Carrie could perceive nothing in the rules of the so ciety to justify such a proceeding, and ordered Moody to be reinstated. MARYLEBONE. James nantal, coustiVe27sti,;a7 charged before Mr. Long, to whom the case had been sent by the Police Com missioners for adjudication, with having used unnecessary violence to an old woman named Elisabeth Webb, while in his custody on the charge of having part of a butter tub in her poirse,ion, knowing the same to have born stolen. There wear a second complaint against defendant, for violent conduct at the station-house. It appeared that on the previous Thursday defendant, who, as alleged by him, had missed the tub in question from the doorstep of a house of which he and his wife had the care, met complainant carrying it in her hand. She was questioned as to how she came by it, and she said that it had been given to her by her eon, who had picked it up in the road. Defendant said he should take her to the station house. She went into No. 6, Wellington-street, Camden town, next door to where she lives, followed by the defend ant, by whom she was pulled out of a room, shoved along the passage with great force, and her back much hurt by his forcing his knee violently against it. On the way to the station she was further ill used by the defendant while being assisted along the streets with another female hold of her arm. When the charge was preferred the sergeant refused to take it, and complainant went home to her hus band, who for some time past had been lying very ill in bed. At the station defendant was much excited, and used impro per language to the sergeant. Upon the latter charge he was not fined ; but for using unnecesury violence towards the old woman a penalty of 405., or a month's imprisonment, was inflicted. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Sage, an omnibus driver, wu summoned bef,re Mr. Bingham, at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for driving a hone in on unfit condition. John Smith, constable to the above-named sociey, stated that of the 29th of October he saw the defendant driving an omnibus with two hones, in Pall-mall, and sestina that one of the hones limped very much, be stopped defendant, and on examining the off-side horse, he found a largo raw wound on its shoulder. There was a false collar on the horse, and the scab was rubbed off the wound. Defendut said in defence, that as soon as he discovered the condition of the hone he took it off the road, and he now promised not to drive it again till quite well. Mr. Bingham—Welt, under those conditions I will let you off on payment of costs. E.M.H. has forwarded a cheque of 181. Iffe., to be dis tribnted among the poor-boxes of the nine police courts. THE ELECTRIC LuoM.—The Pktintoratese Gazatc of the 12th has an article on the electric loom recently in vented by Chevalier Binelli, and states that, on the re : commendation of . M. Heron, of Lyons, who bad observed to him that he would meet at Lyons with great opposition to hi 4 invention, owing to the difficulty of breaking through inveterate habits, Chevalier &meth has applied his in ' vention to the old Jacquard loom, which thus remains, as it was before, merely suppressing the cylinder, as the cards are entirely done away with. By this means the manu facturer may realise immense advantages without any in novation in his factories. 'THE CORC PATENT —...— Yesterday the officers of this inchoate company (which is about to apply to parliament for an act of incor poration) invited the attendance of a number of gentlemen, at their offices, No. 5, Ludgate-hill, to witness a series of experiments intended to illustrate the peculiarities of a new telegraph which has bi en invented and patented by Mr J. W. Wilkins, and of which the company intends to avail itself. The new telegraph is in many respects similar to Morse's, the one chiefly used in America, and of which • brief description may be interesting to our readers. In Morse's telegraph the message is printed upon a ribbon of thin tissue paper, both by the instrument sending it and that by which it is received. This paper ribbon is unwound by a clock work apparatus from a reel, and p between • needle and • wheel covered with carbonised paper, such as is used for manifold writing. When, there fore, the operator touches a spring the needle of both instruments is brought in contact with the ribbon and makes either a dot or a stroke, according as the touch is instantaneous only, or as it is continued for a short time. The alphabet is, of course, formed by different combina tions of these dots and strokes. It will be seen that this plan has some important advantages over the common tel egraph ; the most obvious being that, inasmuch as a copy of the message remains in the hands of the sender, he can tell whether it has been correctly transmitted, and thus the expense, the trouble and delay of "repeating" is avoided. In Mr. Wilkins' telegraph, the needle presses continuously on the paper, and therefore as soon as the moving apparatus is set in motion, it traces a straight line upon the paper ribbon. By means of two springs he causes sdivergence of the needle to the extent of an eighth of an inch to the right and left ; and the alphabet is thus formed by a series of strokes and zigzags, the advantages clohned fur it being greater simplicity, freedom from error and rapidity. It is also said that a tar less number of clerks would be neces sary. In addition to all this, the projectors of the new company anticipate great advantages from a new method of insulating the wire, (tor one only will be necessary), and they state that by this means the original expense of laying down their lines will be so trifling that they will be pre pared to charge a uniform rate of 6d. per message of twenty words, and a halfpenny per additional word. Their scheme fur laying down the telegraph is remarkable tor its bold ness and ingenuity. Six lines will leave London on the north bank of the Thames and five on the south. These are to be continued pretty nearly to the coast, taking in all the towns in their way. From each of them main lines will radiate an infinite number of branches, each of which will be provided with an instrument of exceeding ingenuity and importance, called an automaton repeater. If ever the scheme should be carried out the results will be more eur prissng than any of the electric wonders we have yet be held. SELF ADJUSTING MARKETS. COTTON.—LivinPoox, Nov. 17.—The demand for cotton to day has been general and good, but the market closed heavily, and with a great deal offering for sale ; but prices have undergone little or no change. The sates have amounted to 6,000 bales, including about 4,500 Americans (500 for export aral a similar quaetity on speculation) ; 650 remains and Marenbams, at 6ed. to 71d. ; 250 Egyptian, at 5:1:d. to 125. ; 300 Surat, at 2sd. to 41d., Axil 30 Sea Islands, at 17d. to 20d. per lb. MANCIMSTEII. Nov. 17.—The market continues very languid. There is a demand fur 40's mule Taro, which commands relatively better prices on account of its scarcity than other numbers; and light skirtings are still in request. For other descriptions of yarn and cloth dunces& and a desire to sell are general. WOOLS —BRADFORD. Nov. 17. There is but littl doing io any kind of combing wools, the rpinners find, a the prices sought, it is impossible to corer cost, and they prefer their machinery being idle. There was, at the end of last week, a slight more among the staplers; but for actual consumption the demand was never slacker. MANINACTURES.—BRADFORD. Nov. 17.—Yams : The sane causes we have for some weeks referred to are still in operation, the quantity of idle looms having sus pended the operations of the spinning frames, and which will Cr. long bring about a better state of things, for there is no - «4tion of yarns, and at no period was the system of total franies stopping found so general as at present. The short time and total standing was estimated, before the Lancashire turn-outs, at 50 per cent., and must now be materially aug mented. Pieces: There is not much doing in any kind of cloth, but the stock of grey goods in the merchants' hands is very low, and by the early stoppage of looms the manu facturers have acted wills equal caution, and prevented accumulations which otherwise would have occurred, and maintained their prices. In heavy goods, all wool, such as merinos, the trade is very bad for the manufacturer, the cost of material operating against cheap goods being pro duced.—Brodford Okermr. CORN.-Binutho nem, Nov. 17.-During the present week we have had a fair demand for wheat at about pre vious currency. Barley dull, and tending downwards. Oats held for former prices. Beans more plentiful, and peas less in request. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, the trade ruled very dull, and no transaction in foreign wheat reported. At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, and the trade ruled very dull, but we do net alter our quotations for any description. Barley of all kinds ls. per quarter lower. Oats 6d. to Is. per quarter lower. On beans and peas the turn was in favour of the buyer. MANCHESTER, Nov. 17.-At our market this morning there was a fair attendance, butt languid feeling prevailed. Wheat ruled steady at late rates. Flour was in limited re quest, but cannot be toted cheaper ; indeed many millers were asking more money. Oats and oatmeal were neglected and might have been purchased on rather lower terms. Dumas, Nov. 17.-We had a small supply of wheat for the time of year, and the condition was very rough and bad; the trade, however, was brisk, and all but the wont lots met a ready sale at an advance of from 2s. to 3s. a qr. Barley was in fair supply: all except the best malting samples were somehat lower; tho very best barely main tained last week's prices, and, on the whole, the turn was in favour of the buyer. Beans, old ones, were very scarce, and were dearer; oats were also in better demand. NRWARIE, Nov. N.-At our market to-day there was a fair attendance, with a plentiful supply of samples, and a brisk business. Wheat was largely offering, and was sold better than last week. Barley was in good supply, bat trade was fiat, and a decrease in value of 2e. per qr. took place. Oats and beans were scarce, and old samples were of much the same value as oefore reported. In other articles no 'alteration. Averages : Wheat, white, from 7135. to 805. ; red, 769. to 795. ; barley, new, 335. to 4.11.; oats, 345. to 365. per 24 stones ; beans, old, 625. to 635. NEWBURY, Nov. 17.-We have this day a considerable supply of wheat, and the condition somewhat improved, for which there was a steady sale at fully late prices. The sup ply of barley not excessive, and a good demand, without change in price. Oats, beans, and peas remain without change. UXBRIDGE, Nov. 17.-The trade is slow and unaltered in value, with more offering today. ER1,7117E011, Nov. 16.-We had in the market to-day 786 qrs. wheat, 1,971 barley, 1,106 oats, and 73 beans. There were sold-wheat, 688 gra ; barley, 1,745 ; oats, 918 ; and beans, 70. As compared with last week :-wheat was 2s. down on top, and Ild. up on the average. Barley was 6d. up on the top, and same on the average. Oats were Is. 4d. down on the top, and 101. up on the ge. Beans were Gd. up on the top, and 10d. down on the average. We had a fair supply of grain is the market to-day. If it had not been for the demand for seed wheat, prices would have receded, consumers rather holding back than buy at seed prices. Barley sold well, firmly maintaining last week'a prices. Oats were a ready sale, and prices up, while beans were brisk. Wheat, 88.. to 87s. Barley, 271. to his. Oats, 14s. Bd. to 31s. Beans, 48s. to Gls. Weight of top wheat, 6311b5.; barley, 571 lbs. ; oats, 45lbs. ; beaus, 64 lbs. WATERFORD, NOV. W.—lnfluenced by the improved accounts from London and Liverpool our market has fully recovered the deprmsien cf last week, and prices of a.I articles are the turn dearer. The amount of business pass ing is to a fair extent. Weather still tine, and Sild work progressing rapidly. CATTLE.—BISIIOPSTOW.E, Nov. 17.—The show of beef and mutton at this market was rather short, but met a ready sa:e at full prices. LEEDS, NOV. 17.—We had an exceedingly good at tendance of buyers at the cattle fair yesterday, and a good deurind. The cattle shown amounted to 670 head, in- Lluding 100 foreign. Of sheep thcro were 4,300. English Attie sold at 7s. 4d. to 7s. &1. per stone of IGlbs. ; and foreign .ealised 7s. to 71. 4d. Sheep fetched 41d., and very prime binge 61d. per lb. liawattx, Nov. 16.—At our maiket to day, we had only a small supply of stuck, and secrecy any demand. Little business was transacted. There were 07 sheep, 130 beasts, and 234 pigs penned. EDINBURGH, Nov. l&—The number of sheep in the mark, t thia m3ruitig was 3,014, or 603 less than la,t week. There was a good demand, and prices were the same as those obtained last week. Top price of the best black-faced wcdders, 7d. per 1b; current price, from &I. to QC per lb.; middling and inferior sorts, from Sd. to 50. per lb. At the close of the market a good clearance was effected.
