DAMN(/ ' M in the chair. _ R.N., the secretary, read the follow ing report : " The working account for the first six months of the current year, which, according to custom of the Royal Mail Ream Packet Company. has bean transmitted to each of the shareholders, will not admit of comparison, as to its various items, with any working account hitherto presented. The change of routes upon the West India line, which took place in August, ;Iblo, affects both the receipts and dis bursements; and in January last, as the shareholders are aware, the company opened an entirely new line of steam communication with the Brazils and the River Plate, of curse requiring considerable expenditure in hiring pre mises, establishing stocks of coal at rarious depots, peeper inz moorings, and appointing agencies; all of which, how es, r, as well as the receipts, are exhibited in the working account, giving a surplus of 100,6511.

With this conviction, therefore, the directors recommend a dividend for the first half of the currtwt year at the rate of 2!. per share (free of income tax), payable on and from th e 14th instant." The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the above re port, intimating that he would reserve any remarks he Wien have to make until he had heard the olmervations which any gentlemen iu the meeting might have to offer. 111 r M'CiAItELL seconded the resolution. • _ _ Mr. RIDGWAY, as an amendment, moved that the divi dend be 21. 10s. per share. The CHAIRMAN, after some discussion, said, in reply :—Mr. Ridgway seemed to think that their pros pects were good. So did the board, and they stated so in their report. Mr. Ridgway approved of the route by the Isthmus of Panama, but he objected to afford mg aid to the Paha= Company. But one of the earliest acts of the company had been to grant a loan to the government of New Grenada for the formation of a new road for the transit of passengers &ad specie ; and he might state that at the present moment the company were actually owing money to that government. (Hear, hear.) The company might be in error, but their only object was to enlarge their business and make it more acceptable to the English government and to the public at large. Besides, it should not be forgetter that the contract was a limited one, and the speedier and safer route which they desired to have was wanted immediately. (Cheers.) He mast, as at present advised, decidedly object to Mr. Itidgway's request that the report should be circulated before the meeting, first, on the ground that it was notdone by any company—(expressions of diment)—and secondly, because matters of t sm ea might occur up to the last moment, to wh &liftable to allude in the report. Then, as to the complaints from Demerara, none had been made for the last six months—[Mr. Ridgway : Every packet bring, them]—but, at all events, the object of the additional outlay was to improve the communications and to remove such complaints. (Cheers.) The Esk had regularly made her voyages, but had been removed because her speed had not been satisfactory; and at Rio Janeiro every facility existed for the repairs of iron vessels. (Hear, Mar.) As for the proposed change to Milford Haven, he considered that such alterations were much to be regretted, and besides he thought Southampton a very suitable station for the purposes of the company. It was near France, and there was a very large French trade to Brasil. (Hear, hear.) But Mr. Ridgway wished to know what the supple mental charter was to do ? Why, the object of the report was to tell him. Ile complained that they had been con tinually changing, but the charter had been unchanged. There had been alterations in their contracts, and it was there that Mr. Ridgway had fallen into the mistake. The supplemental charter del not compel them to do anything; it merely gave them powers which they might exercise if they thought fit. (Hear, hear .) lie (Mr. Baring) would be happy to see a larger dividend, but it' the bierease were an injudicious one the directors alone would have to incur the responsibility, and therefore he must resist the amend meat. It was true they were to receive 30,0001. extra, but then they bad 150,000 miles of additional steam service to perform, and that would reduce the government allowance from 124. 21d. to Os. 10d. per mile. They might say that ' the government had made a hard bargain with them, but the company wanted a better, and he thought they would have been wrong not to have accepted it. (Hear, hear.) No great ocean commuuication by steam had been found to meeced unless it had the support of the government; but at the same time those who talked about abolishing the contract system ought to remember that to be of advantage to the public, to contract must also be of advantage to the contractor. (Cheers.) If they had been sure of the renewal of their contract. they would have put , chased the new steamers before. Their estimated oat had been 490,0001., of which 300,0001. had been paid, and there remained funds available for the ✓emainder without making a call. (Cheers.) But, of 'curse, that could not be done without absorbing the re serve and insurance fund, and he put it to the meeting whether it would not be better to wait till the next year, to see how the new arrangements would answer, ere they increased their dividend. (Hear, hear.) It would surely not answer their purpose to make a call and increase the dividend. That would tend rather to depress their stock than to increase its value. Besides, he considered that there had been a tolerable rise in the price of their shares. [A Proprietor—They are quoted at 84.] That was surely a satisfactory rise, considering that they had been pur chased, as Mr. Ridgway had himself said, at 12. (Cheers) He (Mr. Baring) believed their position to be a very sound one; and as for their accounts not being explicit, he did not know any company that gave such a full statement of its affairs. In conclusion, he begged to assure them that it was because the directors wished to stand well with the company and the public that they did not wish to increase the dividend. (Loud cheer.) The question was then put, and there appeared only five hands for the amendment, the test voting for the adoption of the report, and the dividend as originally proposes'. A PROPRIETOR had no objection to the appropriation of their earnings to the purchase of new ships, but he thought that they ought to add their cost to the capital, so that they should be considered to have paid up 701. instead of GOI. [Mr. Ridgway—. That is just what I want."] Would it not be advisable to take stock, and divide the in creased value of their property amongst them ? (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said that question had been before the directors ; at the commencement of the new contract it would be right to take stock, but he doubted whether the capital would be increased, because the depreciation ought to have been gradually written off, which would have been the same thing as the reserve fund. The PROPRIE fOR replied that they ought to consider what would be the value of the old ships to them, not what would be their value if sold. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN remarked that if no new service were crested, two of the old ships would be for sale, sad that would be a sort of test of their value. (Hear.) A vote of thanks was then giveu to the Chairman—tho mover, Mr. Henke'', remarking that the raising of stock from 12 to 84, was a feat perhaps without a parallel. Mr. Baring suitably acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting broke up. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public busium. ELACTION ACT ACT. Mr. BOWER, in the absence of Deputy Harrison, rose to move, " That the stath proposition of the Freedom commit tee, as reported to this court, be now read and approved." He said the proposition was to the effect that the qualifica tion ee candidates for the Common Council be the same as time of the electors, and tb it a provision be made to pre vent any person being a candidate for the office of alder man, or common councilman, who may not have paid his debts in lull, in case of his having previously been bankrupt or insolvent, or having compounded with his creditors. Mr. Bk.NNOCII said he should move an amendment. He considered that the latter part of the sentence after the word electors should be entirely omitted. He saw no rea son why gentlemen who had been unfortunate, and who, in the course of years, had recovered their position, should have such a restriction imposed upon them by the corpora tion. It was solely a question fur the constituencies, in his judgment, and not for the corporation, to consider. (Hear, hear.) If the court thought proper to agree to the amendment, he should then move " that in the event of any alderman, or common councilman, who may not have paid his debts in full, becoming bankrupt or insolvent, or compounding with his creditors, he shall immediately resign his gown." (Cheers.) Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR seconded the amendment. There were too many bankrupt peers and bankrupt mem bers of the House of Commons—(oh, oh)—and he thought the constituents in the different wards quite as fit to return respectable men to the Court of Common Council as the electors throughout the kingdom were competent to send representatives to parliament. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON wished to remind the court that one of its bye laws was that no person should be eligible to serve on a committee who had been bankrupt or insolvent, and sot paid his debts. What was the use of sending a man to the court who was not qualified to act? Mr. BLAKE—I am very sorry to be opposed to the mover and seconder of the amendment, but I do think it a most extraordinary coincidence that on the very day that we have evinced such extraordinary sensitivenevs as to im putations on our public virtue, it should be moved end se- ' evaded by two highly honourable and upright men, that we open our doors to persons who have not fulfilled their peen ruary obligations. (Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding the practice of either house of parliament, let us maintain that character for purity and virtue which belongs to us, and defy the imputations which are falsely made upon our ho nour and our respectability. (Cheers.) Mr. Deputy CORNEY—You cannot compel an alder man to resign his gown when ho is elected for life. (Rear, hear.) Mr. BENNOCH—Yon can by act of parliament. Mr. R. TAYLOR—And then he may cheat as much as he pleases. (Loud cries of "Question. ) The motion was then put and carried, two hands only beilk. ng bald tip for the amendment. BOWkAt then mewed, " That the qualifications for Waimea be those of the freemen and citizens aforesaid." Mr. ANDERTON eseasded the motion. Ma BEN NUCIII amaidered it essential to the purity of the earporation that the constituencies should have the =ty at arta' ' of getting rid of an obnoxious • (Land ter.) Such an opportunity he con- Maenad every teembor of the court felt to be particularly emeatlal at the present moment. He therefore proposed to add the words "that the aldermen be elected fur a period not e: seven yam." Mr. L. TA 'LOA sammead the motion. Mr. ANDERTONtrastaitheameinswould not be agreed to. It would be ver, aimenrous to sleet magistrates pe riodically. It had been considered one of the brightest ' gems in the crown of George 111., that the judges were made independent of the sovereign. (Hear, hear.) So ought the magistrates to be independent of the people. Mr. Alderman COPELAIiD said he should like to Ste the broad principle introduced, that every man rated for the maintenance of the poor, and residing in the City and carrying on trade, should possess the elective franchise. (Hear.) lint with the number of unfortunate cab-drivers and persons who had been brought before him fur using false weights and measures, he should like to know what chance he should have of being re-elected alderman. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BARELY considered that if the corporation re mained as at present constituted, a publican, on being con victed by an alderman, might combine with others in pre venting his re-election ; but when it was borne in mind that the number of electors was proposed to be increased front 5,000 to 25,000, he was sure the publicans and drivers would have no influence in the election. He was sure that aldermen would be invariably returned by their constitu encies when they performed their duty properly. Mr. HALL could not imagine that the City magistrates would wish to refrain from going before their constituencies occasionally to see whether they had done their duty. Mr. ELLIOTT supported Mr. Bennoch's motion, After several other speakers for and against both motion and amendment, the latter WAS carried amid general cheer ing by a large majority. RSHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. CHAHFIELD, THURSDAY, Ocr. 9. Earl Duel° having invited the members of the Cikosorstershire Agricartoral Society to visit him at his seat, Tortworth court, neer this place, yesterday was the day fixed for the visit. Unfortunately, however, hie lord ship was on Monday seized with an attack of the gout, while on his way from Cumberland, and was unable to pro ceed on his journey into Gloucestershire. In his absence, therefore, his lordship's guests were received by his son, Lord Moreton. The day proved exceedingly fine, and the majority of the visitors (about 150) having arrived at Tort worth in the forenoon, proceeded round the estate, for the purpose of inspecting the growing crops of swede turnips, mangold wurzcl, beet, &c., and his lordship's stock of cattle, sheep, and pigs, for which he is so justly celebrated. The short-horned cattle and Ssuthdown sheep elicited the most unequivocal marks of ad miration from the critical visitors, among whom were some of the most renowned cattle breeders and agri culturists of the county and district. After some hours spent in this manner, the party dined together in an out bailding prepared for the occasion; there being no room sufficiently capacious at the court to accommodate the party. The chair was taken by Lord MORETON. The usual introductory toasts having been disposed of, Mr. E. 'JOWLY, a well known agriculturist from the Cotswold Hills, was called upon to respond to the toast of " Success to the Gloucestershire Agricultural Society," which Lord Moreton. Mr. atter was proposed by Bowly, some introductory remarks, turned to the topic of the day, and reminded his brother farmers that though himself not a free trader, the honest free traders of the day foretold that in consequence of the passing of recent enactments the farmers would have a state of transition to pass through ; but at the same time they foretold that when that transition had been accomplished the sun of prosperity would again shine brightly upon them. They were now in that state of transition, and found their receipts diminished, while many portions of their expenditure which were not under their immediate control continued the same. Tha taxes, and rates, and the rent were not under their control; but, with reference to the latter, the time was conic when the landlords must meet the tenants in a business-like manner, and adjust them. If any feudal system existed among them, the free trade winds would blow them to the fear quarters of heaven. Although agriculture was just wow under a cloud, he trusted it would soon pass away, and Idea the sun of prosperity would soon again shine on them. Mr. BEACII, a tenant firmer, proposed the health of Earl Ducie, remarking that not only Gloucestershire but the whole agricultural community was deeply indebted to his lordship tor his improvements in the breeds of cattle and sheep. His lordship's character was full of strict in tegrity and worth; and although he (Mr. Beach) might sometimes have doubted his policy, he could not but admire his integrity and sincerity. Lord .MORETON briefly responded to the toast on behalf of his bother, and expressed the regret which Karl Ducie felt at being precluded from entertaining the members of the Gloucestershire Agricultural Society personally. Mr. CURTIS HAYWARD, a county magistrate, gave the toast of " The tenant farmers." Ile expressed his sym pathy with them in their state of transition, but said he had no doubt that in the end prices would find their level, and Ithat the time was not far distant when the tenant farmers would be again in a prosperous and happy condition. (Sear, hear.) There were some circumstances of the pre sent times under which they could already feel that they were in a better condition than they were twelve months ✓ . They had had a bountiful harvest, and not only was lie grain crop large, but the article itself was of a superior description, and better adapted for a successful competi tion with the foreigner's corn than was the case last harvest. (Hear, hear.) He had no doubt they would be able to maintain their ground by taking ad vantage of the improvements which offered them.elves; and particularly be recommended the growth of Mx, as being an article in the production of which they would not be competing with each other, as would be the case if they increased the production of grain to any great extent. Mr. BEMAN, a grower of flax on the Cotswold Hills, bore testimony to the remunerative properties of the crop. Mr. W. P. PRICE, late high sheriff of Gloucestershire, said he had been requested to propose the toast of "Agri culture, manufactures, and commerce," he being connected with all three of those interests. lie confessed that agri culture was not now so .profitable an occupation as it had been or as it ought to be. This, he thought, might bo attributed to their having trusted too much to the state, which had broken down under the burthens that had been been imposed on it. Without trenching upon ground which by common consent had been avoided at the meetings of agricultural societies, he could not help expressing his feeling that the difficulties under which they now laboured arose from the agri culturists not having followed the commercial prin ciple in agriculture—s. e., in the renting, the cropping, the stocking, and the cultivation of their farms. Mr. Price went on to explain further how he considered the commer cial principle should be adopted in taking to and letting farms. If the tenant wanted an outlay of capital, and that outlay would tend to the improvement of the property, the landlord ought to make it, charging the tenant interest on the outlay, five or seven per cent., according to circum stances. In general commercial transactions this was the ordinary course, and the tenant was always ready to pay a fair interest on the capital ; but he was bound to say that he had not found the same readiness on the part of the agricultural tenant to pay the interest on capital laid out as he had observed in commercial trans actions. Then, when a tenant took a farm, he ought to hold it without any restriction. But when a farm was advertised to be let, they found from 50 to 100 people ready to take it on any conditions. (Cries of No, no.") Again, he would not let a farm, unless the intended tenant was a man of capital, and of competent skill and experience, to give a chance of the property not being ill-used. In con clusion, he said he thought that if the same commercial principles were adopted in agriculture as were observed in sommerce and manufactures, the former interest would not now be complaining of distress. Colonel KINGSCOTE proposed the health of Mr. Marling, of Stroud, a gentleman intimately connected with the clothing trade of the Stroud Valley. Mr. MARLING, after some introductory remarks, said, he was happy to say that the staple manufactures of the country, after having been, like agriculture now was, in a depressed state, had revived, and was flourishing. As Mr. Bowly had already told them, the owners of the soil must meet the occupiers in a business-like way, and he had uo doubt that this would be the result of their present posi tion. The cheapness of food had undoubtedly benefited the country, but the manufacturing interest had not reaped all the benefit, as some had alleged. It was the poor la bouring man who had reaped the most benefit—(cheers) — and he could testify to this from personal observation. Es. gr., the weavers in the Stroud Valley had, until lately, been scarcely half employed, but now there was not a sober or good workman who could not have full employment if he liked. (Hear, hear.) And he might add, that in the village of Whiteshill, near him, there were now seventy pigs, where there were only seven last year. (Cheers.) A few other toasts of a complimentary nature followed, and the party broke up at a reasonable hour. THE LATE SEIZURE UPON THE NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY row POOK-watts.—At the vestry meeting of the parish of St. Pancras on Wednesday, Mr. Church warden Baker in the chair, in answer to :a question from a vestryman, Mr. G. W. F. Cooke, the clerk, stated that a distraint had been put in, and that the company had re plevied. They had called upon the summoning officer to enter an appearance at the Sheriff's Court. He the vestry clerk, under these circumstances, applied for instructions to proceed and defend the matter. Mr. Healey moved that full instructions be given to the vestry-clerk to proceed in the usual form against the company for the amount of rates due. The motion having been seconded, was carried. The vestry-clerk then recommended that Mr. Peacock be re tained to argue the case in the Court of Queen's Bench. Mr. Glover hoped that in naming the counsel care had been taken that he was not connected in any way with the parish or railway company, as was the case on a former occasion. The vestry-clerk stated that Mr. Cooper, one of the directors of the poor, had elicited tho fact from Mr. Webby, the arbitrator to whom the assessment was re ferred, that he was not in any way connected with the railway company, and he expressed his surprise at the liberty which had been taken with his name. It was agreed that Mr. Peacock and Mr. Bagley should be mbpioyed as counsel in this matter for the parish. Two o'CLocx. The share market to-day is quiet, and in the ear lier part of the morning business was in two or three instances transacted at a further slight reduction, but the feeling is now much firmer, and many descriptions are quoted at a fractional improvement on the last rates of yesterdays market. Lancashire and York shire and Midlands are decidedly higher, and Great Westerns, London and North Western, and South Easterns are also better. Specula tion in this market is now quiet again, the dealers appearing disposed to wait and see if prices will be supported by the public on the pay ment of the dividends, in which case an upward movement is extremely probable.

The English stock market has shown much more firmness to-day, and, with the support afforded by the continued action of the National Debt Commis sioners' broker, and a slightly increased disposition to operate 011 individual account, the quotation now rules steady at a rise of on the last rates of yes terday. The Paris Bourse continues to exhibit a de clining tendency, but there is no intelligence of par ticular novelty in this morning's arrivals from the Continent. The Bank returns to-night arc ex pected to present a further respectable addition to the stock of bullion, although sonic demand for the In dian markets was manifested in the week em braced in the return. The Teviot, for the Brazils, has just taken out a rather larger amount than is usually remitted to this quarter—viz., 113,000/.—but this is of no consequence, in face of the supplies from so many other parts. Consols opened 961 to .1 ' and are now quoted 961 to 97 both for cash and Tuesday next. The prices of the day's business arc officially given as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, 96?,„ 97; ditto for ac count, 961, 97. This is the only stock dealt in. Next week will witness the nearly simultaneous close of the account in the Consol, railway, share and foreign stock markets. Under ordinary circumstances, some little pressure is usually expe rienced on such an occasion on the Stock Exchange; but, as the payment of the quarterly dividends com mences to the public on Tuesday, whilst bankers are supplied previously, there can be little doubt the temporary obtained. required will be readily The movement in the market for the unfunded securities is nearly all in the way of inquiry, and prices are still moving up. Exchequer Bills have been bought at 455. to 48s. prem., being another rise of Is.; and India Bonds at 51s. and 545. prem. Scarcely anything has been done in foreign stocks, and, with the entire absence of movement quotations arc merely nominal. The transactions of the day are limited to the following :—Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 'JO!, ex div. ; Equador Bonds, 3; ; Mexi can, for account, 17th Oct., 27,1. ; Venezuela Two- and-a-Quarter per Cents. for account, 31. The report of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Com pany read yesterday contains some points of impor tance. In a financial point of view it is decidedly fa vourable, but on account of the new operations now in hand, the directors consider it their duty not to re commend any increase of dividend. As they have built several new ships without making a call, the shareholders are not likely to complain of this. The traffic returns for the last week on the under mentioned English lines of railway, as made up to this day, are as follows: . - 1851. 1850. London and North Western L 61,749 ..., 248,126 Midland Lancashire and Yorkshire 16,027 .... 14,487 London and South Western 15,649 .... 11,682 London and Brighton Great Western South Eastern York and North Midland Exeter and Crediton Bristol and Exeter York, Newcastle, and Berwick 15,703 .... 16,604 Shrewsbury and Chester 1,804 .... 1,672 Shrewsbury and Birmingham 607 .... 714 Great Northern 12,888 .... 6,812 Shropshire Union 705 625 Leeds "- - Northern 1,308 .••• North Staffo rd shire Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Chester and H,lyhead Manchester, South Junction, . .. and Altrincliam 517 .. • • East Anglian Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe, and Weq Yorkahire _ _ 762 .... South Wales 1,119 5,08.5 158 3,282 I:fit 1 bii Eastern Counties and Norfolk. 17,324 .... 14,399 Total £2.57,823 £213,475 The total receipts on the corresponding . lines being 257.810/. this week, against 213,4754 in the corresponding week of last year, the increase is shown to be 44,3354, or 20 per cent. The number of miles open in 1831 was 4,201/, and in 1830, 4,0781, being an increase of 123 miles, or 3 per cent. The aggregate average return per mile per week was, in 1831, 61/. 7s. Id, and in 1850, 521. 6s. 9d., so that the difference remains in favour of the present year to the extent of upwards of 91. per mile per week. Although with the advance of the season the re ceipts are, of course, steadily decreasing, the com parison with last year is thus shown to remain almost as favourable as ever, and with the rush of the poorer classes from the country to see the Exhibition in the•last few weeks of its existence, some of the metropolitan lines actually exhibit the most favourable returns of the year. The mileage return of the London and North Western is nearly 23/. more than last year ; the Great Western, 321. per mile more; the London and South Western, 181. per mile more; the Eastern Counties, nearly 101. per mile more ; the South Eastern, 101. per mile more; and the Brighton, upwards of 41. per mile more. With the vast swarms of country visitors who have thronged our streets during this, the final week of the Exhibition, there can be no doubt that the returns issued next week will also present a very extraordinary comparison. The Eastern Counties return is of an unusually flattering character, Newmarket races exercising a good deal of influence, but this meeting Ana also included in I the return of last year, with which it is contrasted. During the present month there arc two other meet. ings at this great " capital of the turf." The Lon don and Brighton receipts, though highly favoura ble, do not present so striking a contrast with last year, owing probably to the attractions of Croydon Fair having been somewhat less powerful than usual, perhaps in consequence of the unpropitious weather. The return per mile per week on the chief lines is subjoined : _ 18.11. 1860.

SrOAß.—The market has closed with a decided improved appearance ; buyers have been active the last two days, and closed at prices a shade in favour of the sellers, compared with those of last Tuesday. Relined remains steady; grocery lumps, 445. to 495. COFFEE.—The large public sale of 5,000 bags Costa Rica was nearly all bought in. Prices of Coffee generally have been sustained, and at the close of the week the tone of the market was strengthened. Good ordinary native Ceylon sold at 40s. to 40s. W. COCOA has been dull of sale, and the parcels offered in public sale hare chiefly been bought in. TEA.—The market has been steady, at last weeki prices, and u fair amount of business done. Isnion.—The quarterly sales which commenced on Tues day, have gone off better than was anticipated ; the demand for good and fine shipping qualities has been rather brisk, and the last sales prices have been about sustained, but infe rior and home consuming qualities show a decline of 3d. COCHINEAL has gone off heavily in public sale at a de cline of Id. per lb. lttca.—A large business was done at the commencement of the week at 3d. advance, but the demand has been rather limited the last two days. SALTPETRE.—Last week's prices have been supported, but the amount of business done has been small. COTTON.—This article has been dull, and prices have scarcely been supported. 1,500 bales sold during the week. Itust.—The market has been dull. I'rices are unaltered. FRl:XT.—Currants : The demand for new bus been rather dull ; prices remain firm, at 425. to 435. ; old remains inac tive. Valencia Raisins: The price remains at 3'is., but not much doing. Ia other descriptions of fruit there is not much doing. In other articles no material alteration, but the genera tone of the markets has been strengthened. TALLOW MARKET.—Tnis DAY. The market is steady to-day, but speculatively there is nothing doing. The range of quotations is as follows . Town Tallow, 38s. ; Petershurgh Y.C., on the spot, 38s. lid. ; new, 38s. to 38s. 31.; last three mouths, 335. ; January and March, 38s. lid. MAIM-LANE-THIS PAY. There was no alteration in the value of English Wheat this morning. Tho few parcels at market sold slowly, at about Monday's quotations; a retail sale was experienced for foreign at late rates. Flour was unchanged in value. Barley and Beans moved off slowly, and Monday's prices were supported with difficulty. The arrivals of Oats during the week have been but mo derate, and sales were practicable at full prices ; but it was not possible to establish any advance upon either old or new Corn. There were no sales reported this morning of floating cargoes of Wheat to the Continent ; the paucity of offers, and the high pretensions of holders, interfered with business. ---- AI4IDrALS INTO LONDON FROM 6th OCT. to 10th OCT: Whet .

Pattenden and Smith report that the market for all choice Hops is very active, at improving prices. The demand, also, for second quality is firm. Letters lately re ceived from the contiaent state that the crop of Hops there is less by two-thirds of an average crop ; consequently, large quantities of both new and old Hops are daily being ex ported from this codntry, which must have a tendency to increase prices. Present prices: —Mid and East Keats, from 81. Bs. to 121. 12s. ; Weald of Keats, 61. 10s. to 7!. 10s. ; Sussex, Si. to 71. ; Farnhams, 8/. Bs. to 121. 12a.—Duty, 115,0001. SMITHFIELD MAItKET.—THIS DAY. The number of Beasts is large, but the majority consists of inferior kinds. Several of them wets left over from Monday last, and many are yet unsold. For the small amount of business that is done, prices range about the same as on Monday. We have a fair average quantity of Sheep ; trade is cheerful for them, at late rates. Good Calves are scarce and rather dearer ; indeed, all kinds meet with a more ready sale. From Germany and Holland there are 649 Beasts, 1,420 sheep, and 125 Calves ; from the home counties we have 126 ankh Cows. Per stow of Ma ad. s. Par goof of Eata ad. cf. Be.; pests.
