LITERATURE. 77„ .sn err Sutith Aft;c4! %NCI, (iALION. K.l Mr. (i t,!..ii to one of tlte numerous class o! A ngi ,- Baxon travellers who seem impelled to make incur sions into foreign territories by motives similar to those which acted upon their ancestors—the exten sion of their hunting grounds, end the love of adventure. In addition to this, he pleads being "imbued or poisoned" with that fascination fur African explorations " which has often enough proved. its power, by urging the same traveller to risk his comfort, his health, and his life, over and over again, and to cling with pertinacity to a country which, after all, seems to afford little else but hazard and " hardr • ship, ivor • y and feve renders it r." There diffi n M "ninvifar those wt. arc T . :Z.IBW by it to timi sympathy, except amongst tneir own class. Most of the African tribes seem so utterly debased, they exhibit so little of what distinguishes man from the brute ; they appear by the unanimous consent of modern travellers to be, with few exceptions, so completely given over to the dominion of the senses, that it might be imagined that toy one who has partaken of the civilisation of the West, or even of the East, would shrink from a companionship with beings who only make use of their human faculties to enable them to gratify those which they possess in common with the brutes. It is intelligible, indeed, that missionary enterprise should make the southern coasts and the interior of Africa a field of endeavour. Precisely because these men are low in the scale of humanity, an honest mis sionary would feel attracted here to elevate them something higher. Our sporting travellers, however, do not as a rule interest themselves in missionary en terprise; and although Mr. Galton shows no desire to depreciate the work of the missionaries in Africa, it is quite clear that the missionary and himself have not much in common in their selection of Africa as a Rene of labour. _ _ Whatever, however, may be the nature of the attraction which draws Mr. Calton, and gentlemen like him, to explore the interior of Africa, we must be grateful for it. as we must for some time, as it seems to us, be wholly indebted to the sportsman and the missionaries for the knowledge to be obtained of this terra incognita. The mere scientific man can never make any d•scovcries in territories where he is' every moment in danger of becoming a meal either to the wild man or the wild beast. The European hunter, with his strong arm and the unerring rifle, will do for us more than the great number of his brethren who would in vain endeavour to penetrate into this mysterious continent by the means of science, or art, or commerce. . . _ The result of Mr. Oalton's expedition is better told by himself: The result of this excursion ham been to fill up that blank In our maps which, lying between the Cape Colony and the western Portuguese settlements, eztends to the interior as far as the newly discovered Lake 'Ngami. The country of the Dansaras—wariike, pastoral Blacks— was in the first instance explored; beyond them he found a bro.d tract, inhabited by aboriginal Hottentots; and, again, to the Loth of these, the Ovampo, • race of intelli gent and kindly negroes, who are careful agriculturists, and live in a land of great fertility. On his return southwards, • quick journey was made into the interior, near the line of the southern tropic, until a road, which had recently been travelled from the borders of the Cape Colony to Lake 'Ngami, wan reached, and in this way • practicable route between the lake and the At lantic was proved to exist. The great discovery made by the writer seems to bs Ovampo laud, which certainly, as far as can be judged of by his description, appears to offer firmer ooting for the labour of civilisation than any terri tory which has as yet been discovered. The first introduction to Ovampo is unquestiGnably very dif ferent from anything of the kind which we have yet seen described in the works of any modern traveller. We pushed through thick thorns the whole time, and lad begun to disbelieve is Ondongs, when quite of a sud den the bushes ceased: we emerged out of them, and the charming corn-conntrT of the °vamp° lay yellow and broad as a sea before W. b ine dense timber trees, and now minable paints of ell sizes, were scattered over it; part was bare for pasturage, part was thickly covered with high corn stubble ; palindings, each of which enclosed a homestead, were scattered everywhere over the country. The general 'powwows was that of most abundant fertility. It was a land of Goshen to us; and even my phlegmatic waggon driver burst out into exclamations of delight. Old Netjo'a house was the nearest, and he therefore claimed the right of eatertainior me the first, and to it we went. He had two or three wine, and a most wonderfully large family, to every member of which he presented us. Then he took Andersson and myself over the establishment, and showed se his neat granaries and thrashing-fioors, and his cocks and hens . the pigs, he regretted, had been sent out of the way; and body, Mrs. Neu°, No. 1, produced a dish of hot dough sad a basin of sour milk, on which we let to work, busing our Angels a we pulled off large bits, which we dipped into the milk and swallowed. The. we went on to Cluk's house, who encamped us under a magnificent tree, and took our nettle ander his charge. He told see that we were still a long day's journey from Nangoro, and that the whole of our way there would lie through a corn country like this. The harvest was now over; but the high stubble was still standing, and in it the oars wee, allowed to feed. There was at this time hardly any other pasturage for them. The Ovampo have two kinds of corn ; one is the Egyptian doura (or exactly like it), a sort of hominy ; and the other is • corn that was new to me, but kindred, as I am told, to the Indian " badjera:" its head is cylindrical, and full of small grey wads, which, though not larger than those of millet, ars so "tumorous that each bead contains a vast deal of nutriment. Both kinds of corn grow to much the same height, about eight feet; and in harvesting the reapers bend down the stalks and only cut off the heads. As we journeyed on the nest day oar surprise at the agricultural opulence of the country was in ne way decreased. Chick told us a great deal about the tames of the farms, and the way they dig them. Each farmer has to pay a certain pro portion of the tobacco that he grows to Neaps* (tobacco is the chief circulating medium in Ovampo-laad); but the corn can be planted without any drawback upon it. The fields are hoed over before each sowing mow, and the torn planted. The manure from the cattle kraal is spread over the ground. They plant beans and peas, but adopt no' eystematic rotation of crops. The palms that grew here were of the same sort as those that I saw seer Omaalsondi ; but the fruit of these was excellent, exactly like those of the Egyptian (LAM, while that of the o th ers was bitter. The other tress that I observed were fruit trees : they were sparingly scattered over the country ; but nearly all that I saw were of 'magnificent size, as large as these in any Eng lish park ; their foliage was so dense and green that a real shade Iron theses could be obtained, which n is the saw in Damara-land, as the straggling stunted thorn, with its few shrivelled leaves, offers little more of a screen to its rays than an English tree in winter time. _ .

THE GORE•HOUSE EXIIIBITIO.V. The Government Commissioners, with great judg ment, have drawn attention to these curiosities, not es models of indiscriminate imitation, but as illustrations of the taste of suocesive wild& ; as samples of merit on parti cular points, especially onsainestatien; and in several instances as wiretap molest imonsismaeiee and bed taste. Foreigner., they say, can teach the English workman nothing in point of mechanical fitness and completion, but he may learn much from them in the art of decoration. This, no doubt, is true; and we hope and believe that foreigners awl native. will benefit one another by these exhititions ; the Englishman leaning to make his cabinets elegant, and the Fruclunan and Italian to make their keys turn smartly, and their drawers come forth without sticking. We cannot greatly admire such things as Buhl work ; elaborations of braes ornaments upon dark pirouette. Wu prefer the inlayment of paintings, the additions-of bas•reliefs, and the quaintest old carvings of human figures, fruits, tic., provided they have any truth of expression. Buhl is no company, has nothing to entertain us with, but its unmeaning flourishes. Gilding is something, for it is a kind of sunshine. The jumble called Rococo is in general detestable. A parrot seems to have invented the word ; and the thing is worthy of his tawdri nim and his incoherence. We confess, however, to a sneaking kindness for the shepherds and shep binderies of the times of the Pompadour. and the Madame Dubarrys. They were the end fno feeling to get at some feeling; to " 'mums a virtue, if they had it not ;" to play at loves though they could only be gallants ; nay, let us do our best for them, and say, it was the endeavour to conciliate the remnant of truth and simplicity lurking in their hearts, and to persuade themselves what a golden age kind of people they were intended by situes to have berm, provided only they could have their own way, aid luxurious suppers instead of bread and cheese. Many of thou extraordinary pieces of furniture are nevertheless expellent of their kind, those in the rococo style not excepted. There are cabinets and coffers truly worthy of holding treasure; tables, at which it would be an elevation of mind as well as liscly to sit; clocks, that symbolise the value of time (end nut seldom its heavinese) by the multiplicity and weight of their ornamentation ; and chairs which sometimes render th- request " Not to touch" provoking; for how, other wise, are we to test the smoothness of the " Genoa velvet," taste the pleuure of sitting as sovereigns and beauties sate, or comfortably contemplate the very objects before us, con sidering that there are no scats in the rooms for visitors, and that pleasure itself is fatiguing ?—Diekens's " HOUM- A° ld Words."

C..IIXI.IONRI: IN RH 11. STANLEY. Mr. Witham said the witness was conducting himse'f with great impropriety. In blither cros.-examina'i4 n, he said he had seen the prisoner's father in rt ference to the case. He dtd not say to him that if the prisoner would withdraw the charge she had made upon him, he would not prosecute her—but that if she did so ho would recommend her to mercy. Mr. O'Brien—Hu Miss Doane ever charged you with impropriety towards this young woman. `tttneu—Well, this is fresh—You ask curious and twiny questions— Mr. O'Brien—Do you know Laura Graham ? Witness—Yes I do— Mr. O'Brien—And acquainted with her as you are, you think these funny quesions and something fresh.—A nswer the question sir. Witness—Why no, she never did. The bus,:;. wen esitotti His n . itienea corn berated th tt 'l!!uanions in hegativing the charge made by the prisoner. Had anything of the kind occurred he must have both seen and heard it. The prisoner's sister was five or six years old. Mr. O'Brien then addressed the jury. He urged upon them that the evidence at Simmons was not worthy of credit, and that a• the case depended entirely upon his oath, the jury would see of what value what he had said o n oa th was. The learned counsel then alluded to the late case of Simmons v. Parkinson, and the part the plaintiff had bo rne in it—the painted horse, the immense sums of money charged for jewellery, and Miss Laura Graham. with whom he had slept—and said it was clear that his denial of what the prisoner had alleged had been got up between him and the Usrman. The only fault of the prisoner was in not telling what had occurred. except that of taking these things from Simmons, and if what she had said was false, why should she have given time and place, date, and everything exact down to the crying of the child. It was clear the child was five years' old. Why did this man put her age at eighteen months? For this reason, because a child of that age would naturally cry if its sister were away, and a child of Ave years of age would cry, at seeing her sister attacked by a man. That was his motive, to make the child out so young that it tried at the absence of its sister, while the fact was that she was then Ave years of age, and cried because her sister was being attacked. He only regretted that the statement made by the child was not evidence. The prisoner's father was examined. He deposed that before the final examination before the magistrate, Sim mons sent for him and offered to forego all prosecution, if the prisoner would withdraw the charge she had made. Mr. Witham, in summing up, dwelt strongly on the ad missions made by the prisoner, that she had taken the things. If the defence was not true, it was an infamous one, for then the prisoner had taken advantage of Sim mons' bad character—for it could not at all be said that his character was good—to make up this charge against him. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, with a strong recom mendation to mercy. Mr. Witham inquired on what grounds ? The Foreman said—Under all the circumstances of the We.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LivaarooL, Avo. 23. Bgrou Ka. Jurnes Wiernws. MACKAY AND OSMIUM V. BIICHALL AND T&/MP/LS/1. Mr. James and Mr. Henderson appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. ffeijeant Wilkins, Mr. Atherton, and Mr. Mil ward for the defenoants. The plaintiffa in this action, besides being shipowners and merchants in Liverpool on their separate accounts, in the year 1818 entered into partnership together in the coal trade, and took from the defendants and other parties collieries at Ruinford. One of these, the Victoria mine, belonged to the defendants, and the terms of the lease were that the rent should be paid half yearly, at the rate of 3001. per each half year ; the coals to be measured by competent surveyors appointed by each party, the two to appoint a third rarty in caso of disagreement to ascertain the value of the coals so obtained. Everything went on comfortably, the plaintiffs laying out large sums of money en the works, in railways, engines, dc., until the month of January lut, when the defendants, by Wallace, the sheriffs officer, at Wigan, instructed by Mr. Mahew, their solicitor, took possession of the premises, and prevented the plaintiffs sending any more coals to Liverpool. They did nut, however, put • stop to the working of the mines. The distraint put In was for 6661. 14s. 3d. At the time of the distraint the surveyors bad been arsertaining the quantity of coals got, but had not weed upon the amount actually due, when the day for the payment of the rate arrived. One of the plaintiffs Deering of the distress applied to Mr. Mahew to withdraw. the distress, but he refused until 6681. 13s. 4d., with 121 for costs, was paid. This was done, and the banana of the works was resumed. Three witnesa;ssVere called—namely, two of the Messrs. Mackay and Mr. Holdswortb, to whom the plaintiffs had assigned their lease ; and it appeared from the cross-exa mination by Mr. Serjeant Wilkins that although the plain tiffs were the owners at the time of the distraint, Mr. Oli ver was the actual possessor, and the latter had a claim against the plaintiffs on account of the obstruction to his business. Mr. Witham did lot think it was a case for mercy at all, after the defence setup. Mr. O'Brien said, as he stood there, he believed every word of what the prisoner had said ; and though twelve men would not believe the man Simmons in a case of debt he bad found twelve men there who would believe him on his oath. The cue did not proceed further, but a juror wee with drawn. &mint Pocock said he found that the prisoner's charac ter was a very loose one. She was going to live with a soldier, and had partly furnished a lodging with the pro. coeds of this robbery. She had followed the soldiers to Winchester, and had been sent back by a subscription of some ladies, and her character was anything but respect able. • Mr. O'Brien wished to know if any inquiry had been made as to the character of Simmons or Miss Deane as to morality ? Mr. Witham said almost every one knew that Simmons's. character waa bad ; Miss Deane s certainly was not good, but that was no excuse for their servants to rob them. The sen tence on the prisoner was, that she be kept to hard labour for 12 calendar months. DRISCOLL C. BODT.—SLANDIAIL This was an action brought by the plaintiff, • basket maker, against the defendant, who was formerly in the same line of business and the employer of the plaintiff. A dispute arose between them and the plaintiff left his service, after which the defendant called the plaintiff a thief and some other opprobrious names, in consequence of which the plaintiff was unable to get • situation.

George Newman, 47, was indicted for (and he pleaded gaily to the charge) having unlawfully attempted to *Mein by false pretences from John Pallett one shilling, his money, with intent to cheat and defraud him thereof. Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution. It appeared that on the 4th inst. the prisoner went to the imp of Mr. Pallett, a fishmonger, in Hungerford-market, amimked him (Mr. Pallett) if h e could make use of an seise for the Adelphi Theatre. He told the prisoner to sail for an answer in a quarter of an hour. He went away, and returned within the time mentioned and handed to Mr. Pallett what purported to be an order for admission to the Adelphi Theatre. He asked for money for it, and repre- seated that be was Mr. Webster's messenger. The pro-1 *muter, while the prisoner was away, had sent for as officer, who apprehended him,and on his being searched, a bundle of similar " orders " was found upon him. It would mem that he had been driving • rather successful trade in this way, for one night no less then sixty of these spurious orders were presented at the theatre, but were of course refused. The prisoner set up that in consequence of the great cab strike the play-going public could not get to the theatre, which had been the reason of an overflow ing issue of orders to make up a house. This was untrue, and the order he had attempted to cheat the prosecutor with was a forger. The Assistaat Judge said he found the prisoner had twice been convicted of felony, and then sentenced him to one year's hard labour. Banos Ma. Musa,. Elisabeth Billings, 19, was indicted for having stolen a mahogany box, 8 gold rings, and other articles, value 201., the property of Selina Deane , _ in the dwelling-house of Abraham Simmons. Mr. O'Brien appeared for the pri mer. The prosecutrix stated that she was the kept mi3tress of Abraham Simmons, who had kept, but did not now keep, the public-house in Brydges-street, Covent•garden, known as the Sir John Falstaff. The prisoner had been in her service as maid.of-all-work at that house, and during the 01•111 of her servitude several articles were missed. She Mk h time, e a short but she returned again to rr aß kso l oa Ohs 25th of July, and on the following day she Mini • box containing eight gold rings, a guard chain, hem Sold earrings, aid other articles, the value of which dm estimated at something more than 201.

Several pawnbrokers' assistants proved the pawning of the articles by the prisoner. It was an important circum stance in the ease that one of the rings was pawned on the Zit of July last, but the assistant could not, he aid, swear that it was pledged by the prisoner. It was proved that the prisoner said at the police station, " I took the things and afterwards pledged them." It,.

Mr. TV. H. Philli p s, who stated himself to be the patentee of the "fire annihilator," was on Monday charged with having made a disturbance in the offioss of the company, in Leadenhaltstreet, and assaulted the secretary. Mr. Clsrkaon appeared for the company, and called wit nesses to prove the case. Policeman Smith, 66, said : I was sent for this morning by the Secretary to the Fire Annihilator Company, and upon going to the offices I found the di fendant there. There were around him several chairs, with one of which he struck at the secretary, who asked him to leave the room. He declared that he would not move without being put out, and he took up another chair, and something also from the window, with which he deliberately broke the window. He then got his legs out of the window, and I thought he was going to throw himself out, and too k him into custody. Mr. J. J. B. Curtis, secretary to the company, said the defendant, who had been connected with the office, ceased to be superintendent two years ago. He came this morning, at half past ten o'clock, and seated himself at my desk. called upon him to move, but he refused, and he tore up some prospectuses, and interfered with some documents connected with the company. I reasoned with him upon the subject, but found that expostulation was quite ineffec tual. He then broke the windows, and called out " mur der I" and I actually thought he was insane. The defendant said he had acted under circumstances of great excitement, when he went into the office. He was the patentee of the " Fire Annihilator Invention" and he held a large number of shares in the association established to carry it into effect. Finding, however, that certain reports were in circulation calculated to injure the company, he had ceased to have any interest in the patent. He went into the offices he admitted, as he considered he had a right so to do, and he had torn up some of the prospectuses which represented his connexion with the company as patentee ; but so far from having committed an assault upon any one he had actually endeavoured to save himself from an ex pected assault by breaking the windsw in the hope of alarming some persons in the street. He thought that sort of hint would be better than any other, and he therefore gave it. Mr. Clarkson said the company were only anxious to pre-' vent the recurrence of such disagreeable incidents as he had described, and could have no possible objection to a legal dispute with the defendant if he considered himself a wronged party. The Lord Mayor said it was quite evident that the com plainant had no desire to act harshly towards the defendant, and it was as palpable that the defendant, as a shareholder, had no right to obtrude himself into the office of the secre tary, and take possession of any room in the establishment, much less to destroy any papers belonging to the compeny. Under all these circumstances his lordship cousidered him self bound to call upon the defendant to enter into his own recognisance, in the sum of 601. to keep the pram for six calendar months. 9000 r.

She had only been there • few minutes when she observed the de fendant advancing in a leisurely manner along the path, and on reaching the spot where she was seated, he sud denly turned round and deliberately exposed himself at a distance of four yards immediately in front of her. After remaining for some minutes in the same disgusting . position, the defendant carelessly saun tered on in the direction of two little girls, who were playing about a short distance off, and whom he subjected to a similar revolting outrage. His conduct on the last cracasion fortunately attracted the attention of a man who was crossing the field, to whom witness complained of the gross insult to which she htd also been exposed ; and the defendant was accordingly detained and given into custody. William basis, one of the turscocks of the district, stated that while proceeding along the path at the time in question, he observed the defendant lying upon the grass at full length, within a few yards of twq female children. Witness instantly hastened towards him, and on expostulat ing with him upon hie infamous conduct, the defendant made no direct reply to the imputation, but offered to furnish him with his name and address as convincing:evi dence of his respectability. At the same moment the last witness made her appearance, and having acquainted him with the particulars of the defendant's conduct towards her, witness at once secured him until he obtained the assistance of a policeman. Mr. Ashley, a solicitor, after severely cross-examining the witnesses, withouteliciting anything whatever to invalidate their testimony, addressed the magistrate on behalf of the defendant, and said that he had several witnesses in attend ance whose evidence he felt satisfied would afford convinc iug proof that his client was utterly incapable of such abom inable conduct as was alleged against him. The Rev. Mr. Williams, one of the curates of St.Thonsas; Mr. Carter, the organist at the Old Church, and several re spectable inhabitants of the parish, some of whom had known the defendant for a period of 15 years, were sever ally examined, and spoke in the highest terms of his general good conduct and morality. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that he felt himself placed in a very painful situation, as being compelled to convict a person holding such a position es the defendant ; but notwith standing the high character he had previously borne, he could come to no other conclusion, after hearing the evi dence, than that the charge had been completely esta blished, and he should order the prisoner to be committed to the House of Correction for the full term of three months, with hard labour. - —...—. Thomas Whitehouse, a boiler maker, of No. 3, Lea-cot tages, Orchard House, Blackwell, applied to Mr. Yardley, for his advice and assistance under the following circum stances. The applicant stated that his wife had been labouring under temporary mental derangement, in consequence of an attack of milk fever after giving birth to her last child, and she was removed, as a pauper lunatic, to Byati'm asylum at Old Ford, Bow. On Monday, at 11 o'clock, she came home perfectly cured, and went about her household duties as usual, and he was quite delighted to see her so well and so rational. She informed him that she was very miserable while she was in the lunatic asylum, and that there were 30 women in the same ward, some of whom were raving maniacs. She also said that she wished to remain at home, which he agreed to let her do. The same night, at 11 o'clock, he was very much surprised at the invasion of his humble dwelling by two female keepers, who were accom panied by two police constables, and demanded his wife. He said she was quite well, and did nut want to leave her home, but in spite of his entreaties and those of his wife she was forcibly dragged from her home and taken back to the uylum. He had applied that morning at the Old Ford estaelishunt and demanded hie wife, and was informed that she could not be suffered to leave the asylum at present, and that although she was much better she was not quite well. He offered to relieve the proprie , for of the asylum of the cost of maintaining her and take her away, but he positively refused to let her go. Mr. Yardley said this was a matter in which he could not ' interfere, and that the doctor who had the superintendence of the lunatic patients was the proper person to decide when any of the inmates of the establishment were fit to be at large. He should hardly suppose the woman would be detained a minute after her recovery from the painful ma lady under which she had been labouring. He had no jurisdiction in the ease at all. The applicant left the witness box apparently greatly dis appointed. MARKETS. COTTON.—Livnaroor., Auo. 23.—The market closed heavily, and compared with the rates current on Friday, prices of all descriptions were without material change. The sales have been estimated at 4,000 bales, comprising 3,000 Americans (800 for export and 200 on speculation) ; 140 Peruses and Maranham, 7d. to Bd. ; 400 Egyptian, 60. to 12d. ; 200 Surat, 4d. to 6d. ; and 60 Sea Islands, 22d. to 2s. 7d. per lb. Import since Thursday 60,000 bales. MaNcuserna, Avo. 23.—The market is very quiet, and scarcely any business has been transacted. There has been a steady demand for the home trade, at former rates, but the export trade has been very dull, both for goods and urns, and the tendency of prices is in favour of the buyer. w numbers of yarns, both for export and home consump tion, are obtainable on rather easier terms. Thirty-two's cops, from which shirtings for India are manufactured, are rather lower in value ; spinners, however, are not pressing for orders. Goods for India, and mule yarns also for that quarter, are offering pretty freely. The amount of stocks on hand, however, is not so great as it usually is after such • lull in business as there has been for the past fortnight. WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Lnans, At/o. 23.—We have no change to report in the state of the market today: about an gs business has been done. Considering the paucity of stocks, and the consequent want of choice goods, • larger business has been done than might have been expected. WOOLS.—NODOICISSPIELD, Aug. 23.—Now that the sales are concluded, we have an abundance of Woo! in the market, and a goad business doing at firm prices, particu larly is the better classes of colonials. DIANtFACTURES.---HUDDEItaFIRLD,Aug.23.—There has been a spirited demand to-day for all descriptions of seasonable goods, which were mostly cleared in good time, and, in addition to this, some of our manufacturers are quite busy making to order, and deliver these goods direct to the merchants, which causes an unusual degree of activity throughout this manufacturing district. CORM—HULL, Aug. 23.—We have had another week of fine weather, and if it holds a few days longer, cutting will be pretty general throughout this district. Our reports speak of the improvement in general appearance within the lad three weeks, and if well housed, we shall have some fine quality, but, that the crop is a light one is beyond all doubt. We have not worse reports as to the potato crop. The position of the trade during the past week has been precisely as we reported it last Tuesday ; a mutual indispo sition for business on the part of both importers and millers, hardening, however, daily in favour of the former, who for once have been bold enough to act in unison, and land everything. Some sales have been made at extreme rates, of chambered Wheats for France, and are now in course of shipment thither. Further business is likely for that country. We had today a small supply of Wheat from our own farmers, who, as usual, were in no respect sky in taking advantage of the briskness of yesterday's Mark-lane; they asked boldly 51. to 6e. per qr. more money, and both millers and dealers bought freely at 3s. to 4s. Very little foreign Wheat offering. The bumblers done was at an , advance of 3s. to 4s, per qr. A consumptive demand for all kinds of Spring Corn, and each article the turn dearer ; more particularly Beans, of which there are none now afloat. Indian Corn and Dari go off at our currency. The Linseed market unaltered; with a continued demand for cake. Nothing done in Rapeseed; but Rape cakes fetch long prices. Cattle Bones sell as they arrive at our cur rency. Imports from Aug. 13th to Aug. 19th:—Wheat, 8,163 qrs. ; Barley, 666; Oats, 2,341 ; Beans, 349 ; Peas, 70; Linseed, 13,569 ; Oil Cakes, 270 tons ; Bones, 178. LEADS, AVG. 23.—We are fairly supplied with Wheat there is a moderate business passing at 3a. per quarter over Friday's rates; but sellers generally asking a greater advance, tends to check sales. Barley nominal. Oats and Beans steady. Other articles as before. Arrivals this week:—Wheat, 7,113; Oats, 15; Barley, 69; Beans, 81; Rapeseed, 175; Linseed, GOO. LIVIIRPOOL —Aro. 23.—At this day's market there was a good attendance of our town and country trade, but few buyers from a distance. A large business, chiefly spe culative, WIVI done in American wheat and flour, at an ad vance of 6d. per 701 ht. on the former and Is. 6d, to 2s. per barrel on the latter article. Sack flour was comparatively neglected, but may be quoted Is. per sack dearer. Old mealiag o.its were steady in value, but new were Id. to 2d. per 45Ibs. lower. Old oatmeal was rather more saleable, and 3d. per load dearer, whilst new being more plentiful, declined ls. per load. Barley, beans, and peas were with out change in value or demand. Indian corn on the spot met with a retail demand, at late rates. Floating cargoes, however, were more inquired for, and slightly dearer. Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from the 16th to the 22nd Aug : Wheat, 66,896 qrs.; Barley; 1,860 ; Malt, 1,986; Oats, 3,258 ; Beans, 6,740 ; Peas, 959 ; Indian Coro, 10,745; Indian Corn Me►l, 111. sacks ; Oatmeal, 523; Flour, 8,409 sacks, and 115,656 brie. Exports to Ireland: Wheat, 630 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 623 ; Flour, 966 sack., and 740 lot's. LYNX, Aug. 23.—A moderate supply of old and new Wheat at market to-day, which was taken at an advance of 4s. to ss. per qr. Scarcely any other grain at market. NEWCASTLE, Aug. 23.—The weather since Satur- day last has been peculiarly fine, but to-day there are symptoms of a change for the worse, the barometer show ing a tendency to decline. At our market this morning we had moderate show of Wheat from the growers as well as from the coast, for which a ready sale was experienced at an advance of 2a. per qr., but this improvement did not extend to Flour, which was offered freely at Saturday's rates, viz., 38s. to 395. per sack for house hold. For the best runs of Norfolk red, 665. to 675.; per qr. was readily accorded, and 584. for choice Scotch white, whereas the best descriptions of foreign met atten tion at the following prices. -58s. for extra Rugenvalde red, 695. 6d. for Rostock, and 58a. for fair runs of mixed Danzig; other sorts selling at rates corresponding. New Rye was inquired for; grinding Barley rather lower, with leas doing. Malt @gain the turn dearer, and the same re. auks will apply to other articles. PROM THE LONDON GAZETTE-710May. Aug. 23.
