Yesterday the half-yearly 'meeting of this company was held at Out officio, Btahupesate•street. Col. BARLOW took the chair. The following report was read:— " The directors have to report that they have been un able, as far as regards the construction of two additional dose decks, to carry out the resolutions of the special general meeting held en the 6th of April last, in consequence el** required aroma% of stock not having been taken up. The sudden rise is the rate of discount by the Bank of England, which took place at that period, and • come poeilieg fall in the value of shares generally, operated as a discouragement to investment in Southampton Dock shares at par. Under the resolutions submitted to you by the directors, the stock could be offered on no other terms. They were of opinion th..t the improving revenue and prospects of the company rendered their stock, upon the coaditions on which it was offered, • desirable investment; and they are still of that opinion, and that by the spring of neat year it will be readily taken on Mime terms, end the directors be enabled to proceed with the construction of such additional dock accommodation as will he indispensa bly seceseary to attract and retain the large amount of trade which our ducks and our position most in such ease command. The amount of new stock applied for was 64.983/ , but which falling short of the amount required to construct even one of the two proposed clue docks, the directors communicated to the applicants for the stuck, that they were under the necessity of postponing for the present the construction of the close docks; but that they had entered into a contract for an additional graving duck of large dimensions, which was already in pro gress, and that the amount of stock for which they had applied would be appropriated to the construction of that dry uock Under these mitered circumstances many of the panics, as was anticipated, withdrew for the present their applications, and the remaining amount required for the dry dock will therefore be raised on debentures. The directors are opinion that • steadily increasing dividend and inioruving prospects cannot fail to increase the value of thstr shares, and at an early period to remove the only obstacle to their raising additional capital: but they beg at the same time to assure the proprietors that nothing will induce them to recommend the issue of their stock at any rate less than pa*, or to proceed with the construction of any further portion of the proposed new dicks, unless they shall have a satisfactory prospect of such an increased eevenae as will yield • ressonable return upon the total cost of the dotes, including that of the proposed additions. In proof of the urgent necessity for increased dry dock se otiamodation, the directors have to state that during the year from midsummer 1852 to midsummer 1853, forty-seven ships of an aggregate tonnage of 54,826 tons were admitted Into the company's dry docks, and that during the tame period several sh ips were sent to Cowes and to the Thames to be repairs!, in consequence of the company's dry decks being so fully occupied that they could not possibly admit them. The new miring duck, 500 feet long with 80 feet gate., under contract with Messrs. Baker and Sons, is pro gressing satisfactorily ; and, together with two engines of 50-horse power each, in course of construction by Mem% Maoris''', will be completed and ready for use in March neat.

The balance to the credit of the revenue, after pay ment of the interest on the debenture debt, of the divi dends on the prey rence stock, and of all the working ex penses, repair., tic., amounts to 3,6571. 7s. 2d., and enables the directors to recommend • dividend, clear of income tan, from the eareiegs of this, the least productive half-year, of los per share, being at the rate of two per cont. per annum.'' o:mammies Statement of Iteramp for Um baltyeare and years end.' lai respectively r foUows•— 11.12.yeare Years ending 30th to "4 11 et Desember. 3lst December. 1611 ..

It appeared from the evidence that on the previous Wednesday, the deceased, who name was James Jones, and w^o was • • smith and farrier, re.iding in Wilder-street, made • desperate attempt upon his life by cutting his throat with • razor. This case is surrounded by circumstances of an unusual and romantic nature.

She did not re turn is expected, and although the most rigid inquiries were instituted at the railway stations, coach °dices, packet °filers, anti in every possible direction, no trate of her could ever efterwards be discovered. This occurrence preyed on the unfortunate husband's mind, and he afterwards sought to drown sorrow by taduktina in liquor. Some dart pre vies§ to Wednesday he had drank freely and exhibited symp tom* of mental dersagement, when it was found that he bad rut his throat.

Towards the time of the proceeding, the parties in many of the cat.,er, com pletely wearied out by the delay and the heavy coats that were accruing, came to some arrangement among them selves without going into court, and certainly not more than one-third of the casts in the miss list wets " tried." WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRIBroL, AUGUST 16. Ihroas Ka. Jvmcs TALrovez. Baowsz O. LAZIULLI.-LIABILITIIB OP MAIFFILS OF Viisszuh—SrsoiAL Juar. The action was brought by :he plaintiff, Mr. Samuel Wel !matt Browne, as the su p • • g partner of the firm of wagers. Spiller and Browne, corn and flour merchants, of Dridgt 7rater, against the defendant, Louis Victor Lssiulle, 0.1 •.• - • t oe master of a French schooner “11 .o e~~Ye~to rc. cover compentot!Sn for injuries done to a cargo of flour while on its voyage from the French coast to South Wales, as was alleged, through the negligence of the defendant. The defendant by his pleadings denied his liability, and also denied that the damage had been the result of neglect. It appeared that in December Messrs. Bpiller and Browne directed their agent at Marseilles to purchase a cargo of flour, which was to be shipped at a small port about 45 miles from Marseilles, and on the 9th of that month the agents &evadingly entered into a charter party with a per son named Marries, who was owner and mister of the Jus tine, by which it was agreed that the lour should be carried to a place called " the Mumbles." to await orders, and then to proceed to any port in the Bristol Channel. In the month of February, the Justine arrived at the proposed port of departure from Marseilles, but on her way she suffered so much damage as to need repairs. On the 18th of March bills of lading were signed in due form for 1,362 sacks, and also for 300 other sacks of flour, and a duplicate was given to Marries, and signed on behalf of the plaintiff by the agent. Marries was to have proceeded as master, but being unwell he appointed the defendant, who had pre viouly been his mate, as captain of the vessel. The vessel sailed on her voyage, and on the 29th of April she arrived at the Mumbles, where some persons went on board of her, and upon the hatchway being removed, so much of the cargo as could be seen appeared to be in good condition From some cause or another the defendant, on toe 30th of April, went to a notary, and, under a protest in which he stated that the vessel had proceeded from the coast of France to the Mumbles, but that the flour appearing da maged from bad weather, he had entered his protest. On the 3rd of May the Justine went to Meath, and, upon her being unloaded, it was found that a great part of the cargo had been damaged, as was alleged, through the leaky state of the deck. Proper persons were called in to examine the vessel and the cargo, and it was found that the caulking of the former was defective, and that 400 tacks of flour had I been damaged to the extent of 10s. per sack, and 200 to the extent of 61. per sack. The plaintiff, after the arrival of the ship, had paid cart of the freight, but on discovering the state of the flour he had refused to pay further, and had brought his action. A number of witnesses were called to make rut the plain tiff's case, and deposed to the decks not being water-tight, especially at the combings of the hatches. They also spoke to the damaged state of the flour, which they said had evi dently been caused by the leakage of sea water, and not by natural fermentation or heating. Evidence was adduced for the defence to show that the vessel was in good condition, and that the repairs to fit her for another cargo had only cost lf. 81. The witnesses stated that nothing was more common than for a ship to strain in a storm and close up again, and they expressed their belief that the leakage had arisen is this way. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. The case seemed to excite much interest among mercan tile persons. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Cooper and Hewett, who were charged with hating robbed publicans by pretending to give money and demand ing change, one having offered any, were brought up for final examination. Several licensed vistuallers attended, and stated that Cooper walked into their houses and raised a eonfusion by asking for soda. water and for tour sixpences for two shil lings, and that Hewett engaged their attention in other ways, the effect of all of which was that the thieves gene rally succeeded in gettiug hold of shillings with very little trouble. The prisoners acted at the bar as if they had been long acquainted with what is called " wide awake" life. A young woman, who attended the bar of one the complainants, said, in answer to a question from Cooper, " I am sure you are the man." Cooper—Why you would swear I was the man if you saw my head upon another man's body. My lord, you know the value of the evidence of people of this kind. Now I never was in the fellow's house in my life, and I never see this here gentleman (Hewett) in all my life, be fore I see him in this here dock. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—Ob, yen did not. Let some of the oMcers who apprehended the prisonen stand up. The policeman who took the prisoner Cooper into cus tody—My lord, Hewett walked along with Cooper, as Cooper and I were coming to the Mansion-house from the station•howe, and they were talking together all the time. Cooper—You don't say so. Policeman—l do ; and Hewett lent you his short pipe as we walked along, and I took it out of your mouth. Hewett—There's nothing too hot or too heavy for these here °Seen to swallow. Why you know I never seed you before (to Cooper). Cooper—At any rate I never seed you, and no mistake. (Laughter.).The bar girl—That person (pointing to Hewett) had a smockfrock on when he came into the house, and he pre tended to be drunk. Hewett—There's more of it. I never had a smockfrock over my carcass, and s'elp me (i-1 never was the least in liquor. The Lord Mayor—Several witnesses have sworn that you had a antockfroek on. Hewett—To be sure they have. You could get plenty to swear that I was born with a smockfrock on. (Laughter.) Swear the next officer, and I'm blowed if he wont tell you I had two on, if you wish him. The Lord Mayor—lt is my intention to commit you both. Do you wish to my anything ? Cooper — No, I should think not • show me the use of it. You'd believe these people as has been swearing black was white. I don't know what this ;milkman (Hewett) may have towy, cause I a ed him afore with my blessed eyes. Hewett—No. I have jilt as bad an opinion of the lot as ,on have. I a'nt got nothing to say till I gets afore real j notice. The Lord Mayor—Well, I hope you will meet with real justice. Cooper—Aye, I hope so, for I'm blessed if we can get the thing here. The prisoners were then committed for trial. Thomas Bolton was charged with having stolen a 51. note. Mr. Goddard, the solicitor to the London Merchant and Traders' Society, attended for the prosecution. The prisoner, a mere boy, had been in the habit of betting at those infamous offices with which the metropolis still ab undo. He was in the employment of Meagre. Allen and Co., of No. 168, Cheapaide, and in the absence of one of the clerks he stole the 51. note out of a letter which bad been transmitted to the firm. The note was traced to him through a betting office in Fleet -street, where he had got change of it, paying the amount of a bet upon a horse. Several betting books and bills were found in the pri soner's pockets and in his lodgings. He confessed that he had stolen the note, and was committed for trial. Henry Blanclietl alias Blanchard, ;ad William Simpson were again placed at the bar charged with having been con cerned in stealing 580 ounces of gold dust from the ship Lady Flora, the property of Messrs. Fartreath, shipowners, of Bishopvgate-street. Mr. Huddlestone, the barrister, with Mr. King, from Lacey and Bridges, solicitors, atte n ded for the prosecution; Mr. Lewis for Simpson, and 'Mr. Wakeling for Blanchett. The cue seemed to tufts considerable interest. John Gore, who it will be remembered was Convicted at Liverpool, and sentenced to seven years' transportatian,was brought to London by habeas corpus in custody of an officer for the purpose of giving evidence in the matter. Hoyle( been sworn he said he was second mate of the Lady Flora from Melbourne to Rio. The prisoners were passengers on board. Gambling was carried on amongst the passengers, tic. to a great extent, and a good deal of money was lost and won Simpson lost his money. He (Simpson) had a conversation with witness when the pm elMg was at its height, and while he (witness) was nn deck on the night watch. On that night he had lost 201. with Simpson at gambling. Simpson said he had been an old smuggler, and to make up the loss they had sustained there was plenty of gold below, and they could easily get all the hold dust, and there would be little difficulty in taking possession of the ship. He then suggested that they should have a third party, and Isaac Bryant should be consulted, and then he said that a passenger named Aaron Crakow should be in it, as he (Crakow) was a " Fly Kid," a man of the world, and they could not well do without him in the matter. Witness was introduced by Simpson to Crakow, who said, " Y ou k no w were the gold dust is stowed," and propo.ed to have a look at it, and Simpson, Crakow, and witness went down to Crakow's cabin, and the next day they were to examine t .e gold room before they got to lb°. Crakow and Blau chett slept just ahoy. , the gold-dust room, from which there was an easy communication. Simpson went on deck, an.. they (Blanchett and witness) remained in thel lazaretto. Crakow said that a plank c uld be removed without causing soy noise. Blanchett removed the plink with an instru• meat. On the arrival of the ship at Rio, all the passengers went ashore. Witness met Crakow and Simpson at an hotel, and asked them if they had done the job Simpson said " No." The next day Crakow Now is the time." They went down below and iGund Illancliett there, and he took a box of gold dust which he handed to witness and Lc was to hand it over the gang way. He passed up two large and ono small boxes of gold (twit, which they nut into Crakow's chest. Simpson took away from the ship the largest of the boxes of gold dust in a carpet bag, under pretence of earryiug ashore some dirty linen, and Crakow, it was ar ranged, was to keep the °Seen in conversation to lull sus pima. They found three bop of gold duet is one of the bexes. Blanchett gave him one of the bags, and the two othen were left in Crakow's chest. Blauebett said he had get 1501. for it—he sold it at 31. en ounce. Simpson said Rot 60/. He was to hav e 1501 etr i w wben itn h est ro earrivell in England. fhroe ß m c o Btfdlair°ll.lcLe. s Lewis—l never committcd any crime before thin. I have assumed the name of Siinproc, by wbich I got 310/. from the bank. I signed the nem,: of Simpson, and cheated him (prisoner) or the bank, not intentionally, of 3014, for which I am now under sentence of seven years' transport.. tion. No inducement had been held out to me to give evi dence to convict Crakow or the prisoner. Had received 801. from Blanchett, bat could not End Simpson. Captain H h and many other witnesses were ex amined, and the case occupied Mr. Combo nearly two days in examination, when he ordered Simpson to put in bail for Dia re-appearance, and remanded Blancbett for examination on a future day, when it was sail further and stronger evi dence would be brought forward against them. The witnesse s , however, who were already examined, were bound over to appear and give evidence at the Old I bane,. liv • barid Crakoso, of Windsor-w 5...... .. City-road, was re-examined, charged with harbouring Il l s ton, n 0... Crakow, while a taloa, being concerned in the above rob ber,. Ihe particulars of the case have altesdy appeared in the newspapers. Mr. Roberts, the barrister, and Mr. Ramsay, of Fre derick-Mee, appeared for the prisoner. The prisoner, it may be recollected, was ordered to put in very heavy re cognisance, for his appearance yesterday. Mr. Combo listened attentively to the witnesses called forward, when he remarked that the case had become much weaker since the former examination, and now he would accept his own personal recognisance in the amount of 1001., to anew': the charge on a future day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Leon Nathan was charged with having stolen 43 sove reigns, the property of Solomon Joel, chiropodist, 9, Po land-street. The prosecutor said the prisoner called upon him on Sun day mornirig, and being on familiar terms he was admitted into his bedroom while dressing. Prosecutor took out of his pocket his purse, which contained 43 sovereigns, and placed it in a drawer in the room. The prisoner must have seen this, fur when he left the house prosecutor in a minute or two afterwards missed the purse from the drawer. He immediately suspected the prisoner and set off in pursuit. He succeeded at lan in discovering him in a cab going over London-bridge. The cab was stopped, upon which the pri soner drew s knife, jumped out, and said he would kill the prosecutor if be came near him. The prisoner attempted to make his escape, but was secured. Prosecutor could identify one of the stolen sovereigns, in consequence of its being cracked. Evidence was brought forward to prove that the prisoner, after the sovereigns were stolen, had redeemed some watches he had in pledge, and had, amongst other money, paid away a cracked sovereign to one of the pawnbrokers. The cracked sovereign was produced and sworn to by the prosecutor as one of the stolen sovereigns. The prisoner denied the charge, and was remanded. AUSTRALIAN MARKETS AND PRICES. So many persons are interested in Australian com mercial ventures, that the subjoined extract from the circular of Messrs. Barrett and Co , dated Melbourne, the 3rd June, and received by the Overland Mail, will doubt less be interesting : " During the past month, the arrival of ships from dif ferent places, conveying hither • full ge amount of immigrant. and shipments of every descripton of produce, has been considerable ; but such was the deficiency of sup plies, that, with few exceptions, little or nu reduction has Meal made in the current prices of any useful or consum able article, and the oily observable effect produced hu Mae to make buyers a little more cautious in their opera tions than they were before. The addition to stir papule don during the first twenty-eight days of the put month, after deducting 1,640 who have gone to the neighbouring' colonies and to England, amounts to 6,300 souls. "FLOUR AND GRAIN.—The importation of wheat and lour for the first twenty-eight days of May from Chili, America, and the neighbouring colonies has been large, amounting to, which being reduced to flour, 6,101 tons, or, estimating the population of the colony at 230,000, about forty-five days' consumption. The produc•ion of wheat in this colony for the season 1852-53 just concluded was only, reduced to flour, 10,972 tons, or 96 days' supply, and es the arrivals until he last month ' together with the amount brought to market of the home crop, were scarcely sufficient to supply the legitimate daily demands, there is every probability that before the next crop can be harvested there will be • great scarcity, and, unless the importation from North America should prove excessive, as increase upon the present prices. Osts con tinue in good demand, and although the jmportations from America have been large, such has been the rem live employment for horses, and such the increase in the number of them, occasioned by the actual requirements of the colony, that the price has not receded below 15s. per bushel, and is likely for some time to come to be maintained at that price. Oats are sold by weight ; it will, therefore, be to the advantage of the shippers in England to send good heavy Scotch or Irish kiln-dried ones, to economise the freight and to have them packed in cases of reasonable sire and strength, to avoid the destruction usually occasioned on board ship by the rats. Barley is in fair demand, and we believe, if the drawback could be obtained on malt, some parcels would leave a satisfactory profit to the shippers. " WINE AND STMTS.—We have had considerable arri vals of late, and the market is without animation. Many of the earlier arrivals now purchased by the dealers and retailers, and the delay in procuring the delivery of them, occasioned by the want of lighten to bring them from the bay, and the disgraceful state of, and want of room for landing at, our wharves, when they reach town, prevent patties from operating, until they can make some reason able calculation when the goods are to be delivered. The consumption of spirits continued on the increase while that of wine is more restricted. The quantities consumed in the colony of Victoria in the first three months in this year were :—Wine of all sorts, 155,393 galls. ; brandy, 105,864 galls. ; G , 33,491 galls.; rum, 76,953 galls.; whiskey, 4,062 gills. Total, 220,390 galls. " PORTER •AD Ann.—There has been • good demand for porter and ale, end, as this is the season in which there exists • greater demand for the former article, and the ship ments being inadequate to reach it, high rates have bun secured. Both the direct and indirect shipments, lugs they really have been, do not appear to affect tbs prim. The market is equally good for beer in bulk, and 6111 err gumption continues increasing. " GROCERIES AND OILMEN'S STORES.—The demand is good, and extreme rates are frequently paid for the latter ' goods ; for the reasons already mentioned the demand for groceries is not so active u formerly, but still prices are very sarisfactory, and the consumption going on, which will eompel the dealers to come into the market to supply their wants; unless, therefore, we should be furnished with larger shipments than we can reesonably calculate upon, there is not much danger of prices going down. The Americans are sending us candles suitable for the climate, which may interfere • little with the Belmont ones, the latter, however, are a superior article, and will always com mand the preference and a little advance in price. Pickles, sardines, and salmon continue in great request at high and very remunerating prices. HOSIERY, Sorrooons, noes, &c.—The demand for these goods continues steady. Although dealers are net buying with so much avidity as formerly, on account of the market being more liberally supplied, there is a large boil fine doing at rates satisfactory to the shippers. Upon heavy goods, suitable for this peculiar wawa of the year, large profits are being made. " BUILDING MATERIALS, TIMBER, &C.—The inquiry for all descriptions of building materials continues unabated, and will remain so for a long time, but whether the pre gent extravagant rates for timber will be maintained, will depend upon the quantities the Americans and Baltic ship pets will pour in upon us: both these shippers have tasted the sweets of shipments hither, and will doubtless be induced to repeat and extend them; we may therefore have prices much reduced by August or September, but the de mand for house accommodation is so great and so urgent, that we do not expect that properly selected shipments will fail of realising a handsome return. Bricks delivered at the wharf command 131. per 1,000 readily. Zinc roofing or rolled zinc used for roofing or guttering, leaves • large re turn upon moderate shipments. " EXCHANGE, GOLD Dna, &c.—The banks have in creased the selling rate upon bills to 2 per cent. prem., and the buying one to par. Gold dust has been held at 765. 6d. per ounce, but the late accounts, that have reached here, of the adulteration of the al parcels sent by the Roxburgh Castle, have paralyzed the market, and to a great extent stopped the business,. The eagerness with which every par cel was taken by the greedy and inexperienced buyers, in cited the dishonest dealer to adulterate his parcels: but now, we expect, that the business will be carried on in • legitimate and proper way, and that no parcels will change hands until they have been melted and assayed. There is no scarcity of properly qualified persons here to melt and essay, we therefore expect that few persons will venture to purchase a valuable article like gold dust, on which the profit is so small, without taking some other means of fix ing accurately its value, than examining it with the naked eye." AN EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On Thursday night last as a Barnsley vessel, heavily laden with timber, was proceeding up the Trent fretn Hull to Osinsboreugh, she suddenly capsised near Atthorpe Ness, in consequence of the tide flowing very strongly and her cargo being piled teo high on her deck. The master, James Bray, and another man and a boy, succeeded in getting safely to shore ; but a little boy, 7 years of age, was left in the cabin, it being impossible to get at him, and it was feared he must perish. The 'easel shortly afterwards drifted, keel uppermost, to a sand bank, when the persons in charge of the vessel heard the little fellow crying out. ILI was told to stop quietly where he was, and as he did not seem to know what had happened, they represented that the key of the hatches was Inst. About 5 o'clock the nett morning, when the tide had gone down and left the vessel nearly dry, a hole was cut into her and the boy was taken out. He was saturated with wet, having been at one time up to the neck in water. Otherwise he was not injured. Had the hole been cut when the tide was up, the vessel would have filled and sunk, and the boy would have been drowned. OXFORD, IVoIteEsTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY.—An uuderstanding, it is stated, has been come to between this company and the London and North Wi stern, and a treaty determined on by which the South Wales traffic or the Worcester end Hereford line will peas over the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, the general traffic of the latter to be continued into London by means of the Liackingluunhia bread. MARKETS. COTTON.—Livnitroot., Avn. 16.—The cotton market was rather quiet all day, aril clraed avily, witly , ut any material change in the prices current for the p. 04 latch. 'fhe sales have amounted to 5,000 bale.—'2,ooo for x port ; and cu..iori.cd hoicks AnierCan., 100 r1.3t1,1 and M .ran hams, tiid. to 70. • 20 Egyptian, ficl.; 1,000 Surat, 4 1-16 d. Import since Thai:day, 10,000 balm. MANCIIIIIIITER, AUG. 16.—There has been a quiet mar ket. The circular of a cloth house here, just issued, says: " Notwithstanding the receipt of further unfavourable accounts from India, and the easier state of the cotton market, caused by the rise in discounts, there is great firmness on the part of producers, many of whom decline to take orders during the present unsettled state of the wages question. There is no change to notice in prices." The same description applies to yarns. Ono of the causes to which this quietness is attributed is the large amount of purchases made in anticipation of the settlement of the Russo-Turkish question, during the last few weeks, by merchants and agents, whose stocks are cenwquently now in a condition, to 110M3 extent, to meet the requirements of ••••••• without aiu:La tio — l.94Sft.Wer• There their critn,.... is still a fiat market for India. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LuDs, Aro. 16.—We have had an excellent market to-day. In both the Cloth Halls there has been considerable briskness and animation, and a good business at firm prices. WOOL. HUDDERSFIELD, Aug. 16. The spirited manner in which the sal*• in London maintained their price up to the conclusion has given great firmness to the market, and manufacturers, knowing that prices will not be lower, are buying very freely. MANUFACTURES.—HVIMMRSTIELD, Aug. 16.—The demand for manufactured goods of nearli all sorts usually nought to this market, has to-day been pretty bri , k. The impression which prevailed a few weeks ago, that the price of the raw material would be lower, and which in some de gree checked operations, has now vanished, and business generally appears to have resumed its former confidence. CORN.-11flu, Aug. I6.—The weather has been unin terruptedly fins during the put week, and must have bene fited the growing crops ; un..er such influence business is suspended. We think this is the best description of the existing state of things, ss any decline quoted must be fal lacious, when importers land everything, and millers or dealers buy nothing. To-day we had a moderate show of Wheat from the farmers, and under the combined effect of a hot sun and dull reports from Mark-lane a low market was expected. Farmers were, however, quite nnwilling to submit to any decline on last week's prices, and buyers lacking the courage to meet their views, a most limited business resulted. The accounts as to Wheat crop and Potatoes not improve. Foreign samples of Wheat almost entirely withdrawn. For all descriptions of spring corn there is a steady con sunap•ive demand, but speculation is wanting. Indian Corn and Dari continue in request. Linseed continues to arrive freely, but owing to the crushers being the principal im porters, only a small portion comes on the market, which, as well u for Cases, is well supported. Nothing doing in Rapeseed, but Cakes fetch our quotations. Imports from Aug. 6th to Aug. 12th :—Wheat, 7,471 qrs. ; Barley, 1,750; Oats, 1,658 ; Beans, 700 ; Peas, 80 ; 'tares, 95 ; Linseed, 12,212. Leans, Amo. 16.—The decline of Mark-lane has de pressed the trade here to-day, and prices of wheat have given way Is. to 2s. per qr. from Friday. Barley nominal. Oats and shelling rather easier. Beans scarcely bring so much money. Other articles as before. Arrivals this week Wheat, 3,778 ; Oats, 62 ; Barley, 9 ; Beans, 1,127 ; Malt, 64; Rapeseed, 604 ; Linseed, 1,000. Istvan-Pow, AVOUST 16.—At our market this morning there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, and a moderate demand was experienced for wheat, at about Friday's prices, being Id. per 701bs. under those current on this d week. American flour was is good request, and 3d. to 6d. per barrel d , good sound parcels, suitable for holding, being esleable at 275. to 275. 3d. per barrel for Western Canal, 275. 6d. to 28s. for Baltimore and Phi ladelphia, and 28s. Gel. for Ohio. French and Spanish flour fully maintained their value. Oats met with a slow sale, at id. per 45Ibs. decline ; a parcel of Irish new tawny brought 3s. per 45Ibs. Oatmeal was difficult to sell, although offered at 235. 6J. per load, or Gd. to Is. per load decline. Some new, however, the first arrival of the season, sold at 28.. to 29a. per load. Barley, beans, and pease were withoutmaterial alteration either in value or de mand. Indian corn on the spot was decidedly easier to buy, and Galata afloat was obtainable at 321. 6d. and Ibraila at 31e. per quarter, being a decline of Gd. to Is. .per quarter. In floatiug cargoes of wheat no transactions transpired. Arrivals into Liverpool from the 9th to the 15th Aug., inslusive :—Wheat, 8,823 qrs. ; Barley, 9; Malt, 52; Oats, 1,405 ; Beans, 619; Indian Corn, 1,800; Oatmeal, 379 sacks; Flour, 778 sacks ; 1,672 brie. Exports to Ireland : Wheat, 603 qn. ; Beans, 31; Indian Corn, 1,287 ; Indian Corn Meal, 60 brls. ; Flour, 2,207 sacks ; 870 brls. LINN, Aug. 16.—Most of our farmers being engaged with harvest, the supply of Wheat was small, the demand trifling, and 21. to 3a. per qr. lower. A few samples of new Wheat, quality floe, and taken by the millers at 50s. to 525. per qr. NEWCASTLE, Aug. 16.—The weather has become dull and lowericg, and as the barometer within the last twenty tour hours, has been gradually sinking, rain may be ex pected. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, and although we have little addition to our arrivals since Saturday, the depressing accounts from Mark-lane had the effect of causing great caution to be exercised by our millers who bought sparingly at a decline of Is. per qr. In Flour scarcely a transaction occurred, notwithstanding holders would have made a reasonable concession to have promoted business. Rye had no buyers excepting at a feeding price. Grinding Barley war in less request, and fully Is. per cheaper. Choice Malt in demand, and tending upwards. In Beau and Peas little change. Oats a shade cheaper, with a more limited inquiry. SALISBURY, Aug. 16.—There was not much business doing at our market this day, although there was a tolerable attendance. Notwithstanding the decline of prices at Mark lane yesterday, there war little or no variation here, which, in a measure, was occasioned by the rains which fell for some hours this morning. A sample of new Wheat, which weighed 12 score 7 lbs., was disposed of at 265. 6d. per sack. In other descriptions of grain the trade was merely nominal. CATTLE.—SALISIIIIRT, Aug. 16.—At our market this morning we had a larger supply of Beasts than usual, and there was no deficiency in quality; we had a fair attendance of buyers; but, notwithstanding, business gene rally speaking was anything but brisk. The best descrip tions of Ox Beef maintained last market's quotations, but other descriptions had a downward tendenc There was more than an average supply Sr Sheep and Lambs penned to-day, and considerably in excess of the demand, conse quently the trade ruled very inactive, and prices for a 1 kinds show a decline. There was but a very small show of Calves, which sold at the quotation of this day se'nnight. The number of Pigs was about an average, and, there being a good demand, rather higher prices were obtained. Prices: Best Ox Beef, 10a. 6d. to Ils. 6d. per snore ; cow and heifer, ditto, 9s. to 10s. Best Dawn Mutton, 7d. to 71d. per lb.; long- woolled and inferior, 6d. to 6p. Lamb, 71d. to Bd. ; Veal, 614. to 74.; Pork, fresh and salt, 7d. to Bd. per lb., and 9s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. per !score ; Bacon, green, Bd. to 81d. ; dry, 9d. to 10d.; ditto, per score, 10s. to lls. Store Pigs, 28s. to 30s. each. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE—Tuesday, Aug. 16. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Ara 3. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint the Hon.
