Net was this policy oppase4 to the opening of a areal between the St. Lawman sad Lake Chang e:. At present than were several antis diverging the St. Lawrence. There was the St. Lawrence and Champlain Railroad ; another read was about to be opened from Caugheawaga, and a third one from Montreal to Portland was nearly completed. Now, the trade through every one of these routes paid toll through the Welland and St. Lawrence Canals, and Montreal was thus at this wont aompetiog with Ogdeashargh and Oswego, whose trade only paid the Welled tolls. Now what was no. posed was, that all vessel' that go through the Welland Canal should pay both tolls. This would make a difference of 211. per barrel en lour. Ills honest friend awned that that world tun all the trade of the St. Lawrence to Beale. Now, be did an believe that the American for warders would hare to reduce their charges by that Cu., and Canada would get more toll. The rest of carrying Sole was made up of freight and tolls. The interest of the forwarder was, of course, to keep the freight at its 111•140111111 and the tolls at the minimum. He was not of opiates that this would destroy the trade, and be was pupated to run a great risk for a great ob ject. Were ha of 4piaies, indeed, that this was not an object of importanae, he might hesitate. Awl now he would ask whether, if the canal from the St. Lawrence to Lake Champlin were built, whether it would not be an advantage to that nasal to make all ' , snits alike pay the tolls on the Welland ? Ilio hon. friend hail spokes of his well known attachment to the doctrine of free trade; but he would reply to that, that for fully three years it had been known that he was in favour of adopting this policy, in order to put Canada in a position to nego tiate, if, as at present it was said, she had nothing to give in exchange for what she asked. The Americans et.tered our eanals, though we were excluded from theirs, and we had no further favour to grant. Ile knew there would be a great deal of boasting and loud talking on the other side, about building another canal, but he had investigated the whole subject, and he was certain they could not do so. Ile was periectly confident that this policy would be suc cessful, lie knew he incurred a deep responsibility. Ile know Lis political reputation was staked on this amendment, but he only asked whet all American statesmen always ob tained, that unanimous support which was too often wanting in Caned.. and England, as was shown in the latter country on the rotary question. If his policy failed, his bus. friend should have all the triumph ; but, if successful, he should claim the credit for the government.

(item the Deily New.) Tax most good-natured man in the world will ad mit that there is nothing so humiliating as (to mean expressive not darned) to be " done." He may join in the laugh led by his victimiser and °bonnie(' by bystanders to whom he appeals for sympathy, but his is a hollow laugh; a comic mask momentarily clapped upon a sorry countenance ; the gilding of a bitter pill, at which his gorge rises. It is the laugh of the horse-ehaunter, who, while showing offs" the sweetest tempered 'os in the county," was favoured by the amiable quadruped with a tremendous kick in the diaphragm. It is the laugh that commits cachinuatory suicide; laughing, not with the others, but at one's self, and is generally strangled with a This is the sort of laugh with which a deluded London public will echo the hilarity that resounded in the Court of Common Council at its last meeting, when the removal of the cattle market from Smithfield was mentioned. The City Markets Improvement Commit tee, cheerfully aided by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, are might and main endeavouring to defeat the i n tent ions ol the legislature and the wishes of the public ; and, thinking they have succeeded, enjoy the fun amazingly. Mr. Deputy Lore, or any other independent anti-Smithfield member of the Common Council, has only to mention the sub ject in his place in the Guildhall House of Commons to provoke a smile; but. when he adverts to the die satisfaction of the public at the choice by his col leagues of the populous site in Copeohagerefields, as a lure to win the market back to dear rotten old Smithfield, their playful natures explode in roars of laughter. It is such a capital joke . After all the fatal accidents that have been occasioned in the crowded streets by the horns of infuriated bullocks ; after all the lives that have been sacrificed by the pestilential air of Smithfield; after all the investiga tions of sanitary commissioners, of select commis sioners, and of royal commissioners; after innumera ble petitions and memorials front all sorts and con ditions of sufferers—some of them even from butchers ; after innumerable debates in both Rousts of Par: liament, ending in the sign-manual to en act of the legislature to abolish a live cattle I market in the heart of the City, it is a capital joke to succeed in defeating every one of these efforts; and, in spite of everythingand everybody, to keep the nuisance where t stands. It is a municipal point of humour, a stroke of City wit, which is, to City intel lects, perfectly irresistible : hence it is that when the subject is mentioned in either of the estates of the City parliament the Markets' Improvement Committee laugh, the Court of Common Council laugh, the Court of Aldermen laugh, and the public would laugh too (on that wrong side of its mouth always playfully mentioned when an honest man is dexterously " done " by a sharper) had the great stroke of City policy beensconsammatcd, and were Smithfield allowed to remain an immutable fixture. Happily, however, that clever feat has not yet been quite accomplished ; but it inevitably will be performed if the metropolitan public do not once I more bestir itself. _ _ _ We mentioned in a former article that the policy of the City Markets Committee appeared to be to prove practically—by evading the general intention of the act of parliament, and ct oosing another site in the suburbs equally objectionable—that Smithfield is the best possible situation for a live cattle market. Instead of banishing the indispensable nuisance to a distance of seven miles from St. Paul's, the approba tion of a Derbyite Secretary of State was obtained to bring it to a spot not two miles from St. Paul's Cathedral, in a locality so manifestly unsuited that the market can never be erected iu it. " You see!" they jocularly . exclaim, " the people of the neigh bourhood are in arms against us. They arc driving es away from Copenhagen-fields, as they will drive u away from every other euburb we may fix upon. There is nothing for it (another laugh) but Smith field." " It has been said," propounded Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE on Thursday last, in other words, but with nearly the above meaning, " that if the market were removed, it would be an evil to the neighbour hood [of Copenhagen-fields). Nit was an evil at all there could be not the slightest doubt about that. Indeed, he would say more : he believed that the evils arising from the removal to any . suburban place would be far greater than its retention in the City." Alderman LAWRENCE is one of those gentlemen who believe a cattle market with its offal. and odours is a benefit, and cannot think of removing a benefit further away from London than its suburbs; but thinks it best of all to keep it where it is. He, there fore, was a true exponent of City sentiments, of City subtlety, and City intentions, when he added, "After all. he was of opinion that the better way would be to permit the market to remain where it is, and improve it as prop:teed." This is the key-note of the laughing-chorus which is set up when tho subject comes be fore the City courts. What a brilliant jest it will be if they can only juggle the public and " improve?' Smithfield ! This joke must, however, not be played of The City authorities must be driven with their market to the distance from the City contemplated, but, unfor tunately, not clearly expressed in the Smithfield Removal Act. A new, strong, and unexpected reason for this necessity was furnished at the meet ing of the Common Council we have before adverted to. On that occasion there appeared at their worship/ bar a deputation with a memorial adopted at a pee. vitals public meeting of fourteen or twenty indivi duals (the number, it seems, could not be correctly counted), whose anxious desire it is that the market should stand in Copenhagen-fields. These gentlemen agree with Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, Mr. Deputy Him. and others, that such an institu tion is a real local blessing. They declare, that they represent property in the neighbourhood amounting in value to ‘OO,OOOl. This tremendous statement could not, however be verified under the acute cross examination of Mr. Deputy Lon. The deputation from the great meeting of fourteen or twenty were obliged to own themselves to be chiefly speculating builders, who bad taken ground close round the edges of the proposed mar ket, which it was their sanguine determination to cover, at some future time, with buildings. They have not got the property they set themselves down as actually possessing, but they intend to have it— capital not ailing. And what class of property will it be? Necessarily such as is intended for the accommodation and resort of the frequenters of the projected market. That speculators in that ekes of property should see the advantages of a eekb market close to the ground they hues lOW, is not at all wonderful. But in proving Mlle ems, they have, like most eager and inlm asms =rtants, proved too much. They have that they are willing to complete the &guide Indiana the City Markets Committee ere Mike a feint to commence, by amoremodatiug the mikes unwholesome trades, as' sot very eli gible neighbours, inseparable from s eattk market, with hanee tion.

Ad o hli =es. the enormous property boasted d the memorialists is only us poses--as Ike Wes which are to make it in eue have yet to le biked—it is natural that it will be composed (if it stir come into existence), of such houses as the preens we have enumerated require for their tem porary accommodation, or for the pursuit of their unsavory avocations. There can be no doubt that these capitalists, who have their possessions yet to realise, intend to reproduce amongst the villas and mansions of the Camden estate, the Cow crosses, the Long-lanes, and Sharpe's-alleys which already hang, like a filthy fringe, round the blackest spot on the map of London. They, in fact, unwittingly admit the inference, while advocatinx their own cause and vaunting I themselves us holden of seven hundred thousand pound. worth of assets which they have not begun to create—that they are quite anxious to erect such houses as will be bonefittcd by their contiguity to an animal market; and thin bring into existence a means of concentrating all the mischiefs that arise from the insalubrious concomitants of a cattle mar ket, and of conducting the pestilence to the high class property already existing In the neighbour hood, and by that channel extending it to the rest of the metropolis. There can be no question that the City tactics arc right in one respect, and that the fdarkets Improvement Committee will be driven, by the exertions of the respectable, non-speculating in habitants, and by the irresistible force of facts and common sense, from any suburban district they m_ay pick out to present for Mr. SECRETARY WALPOLE'S approval and re-consi deration when the Copenhagen-fields people have beaten them out of their bounds. "It was no mat ter," said the pro-Smithfield Alderman LAWRENCE, " where they took the market, some parties would be injured, while others would not be benefited; and were they to place it in a plain, far away, as some had recommended, from the haunts of man, they would soon find it surrounded by buildings, and comequently by population." We may tell the worthy alderman that the expe riment of placing the market in a plain at some dis tance from the haunts of man must be tried. It has been tried in almost every civilised city in the world except the City of London, and has fully succeeded. Granted that were the removal made to Wanstead fiats, or to any other ultra-suburban place, the market would soon be surrounded with buildings; but they would solely consist of buildings suitable to it ; and of no others. We apprehend that if once the cattle market were opened at • suitable distance from town, even the warmest advocates of the salu brity of Smithfield and of cattle markets in general would not choose to place their country seats within eight—and smell—of it. There is all the difference between going to • nuisance and having a nuisance brought to any suburb already peopled. If the market were placed in an isolated spot, it would remain isolated, except by those whose business induced them to inhabit its boundaries. The kind of place, therefore, depicted by the alder man is exactly that to which the market must be removed. The jocose functionaries of Guildhall must not keep the laugh to themselves. They must not use their suburban non-success as a cry to hark back Smithfield. The obvious, and—when honestly construed—unmistakeable intention of the Smithfield Removal Act must bo carried out, and the cattle market must not be allowed to be re-established any , where but at a safe distance from the metropolis. eV Court.

Yesterday, at the Marlborough-street Police Court, James Philips, 29 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, on suspicion of having caused the death of Ann Brows, otherwise Matthews, aged 63, at 11, Shepherd street. Mary Richardson, the first witness, said—l am • widow. lam servant at 11, Shepherd-street. I have been there eight years. The house is a brothel. I know the prisoner. He lived there as porter since the deceased, who was his aunt, bought him off from the Marines two years ago. The deceased was housekeeper. Prisoner end deceased Mins bited together. They did sot agree well v getber, and there was hardly • night on which they did not quarrel. On Saturday night last, the prisoner came in about twelve °Nina. rather in liquor. My mistress (the deceased) had aft having her supper, and when he tame in she sent for pea pester. The deceased was then lying moon on the sag lichee the fire. She gave me some beer, when pri soner same in soil used very bad language, sad called her by • bad name, and told her she was sitting in • dirty position. Prisoner told the deceased to go to bed. She refused. and at that time the door bell was rung. I went out to answer the hell, and in going out 1 heard my mistress say " Oh, Mary," meaning witness. The words were spoken verj slowly. When I went back she was lying full length, with her feet to the fireplace, and her head to the drawers. I stooped down to raise her head up, bat I trembled so that I could not do it. The prisoner then jumped Into bed, and 1 said to him " Oh, you have murdered your aunt at last ; come and assist me to raise her up " Instead of doing so the prisoner stamped upon her three or four times with his foot as bard as ever he could, at the same time calling out " Here, look !" The donned moved or groaned after that. The prisoner Jumped into bed again, and I told him he never was going is bed leaving his aunt like that. prisoner reelied, she was all tight enough. I then got a cushion, and put it under her head. Prisonet then got out of bed and assisted me in lifting her into the bed. She was then quite dean. Pei. saner then sent some one fur a doctor, but did not go him. self. Toe deceased had been drinking during the day, but was not in liquor at night. The gold chain, eye-glass, and other articles produced were the property of the deceased. She did not give them to the prisoner. Sarah Noye—l am a servant at No. 11, Shepherd.street. I have bees there about a week. About a quarter to eleven ea Saturday night I was sent for some beer. Deceased was then sissies before the fire on the hearth-rug. Prisoner sherd, sitar came in and told ms to go to bed. I said I would net till in; mistress went, or till she told me. My mistress, about twelve o'clock, sent in. to bed, and about a ewes to one I was seeks up by the prisoner, who came in the room and called out, " Out up, we shall all he Wag, we shall all be transported, your mistress is dead." I took my elotheson my arm and went down stairs, and saw my mistress dead. I called out, when prisoner swore, and said, " Hold thy tongue." A doctor was fetched, and as soon as be came he noticed a scar on deceased's forehead, sad asked how it came there. Prisoner said his aunt had knocked herself against the sofa. Thomas Westlake, 2, Union-street, Bond-street, grocer— About half.past twelve on Saturday night I heard a knock ing at the door, and a person called out, " For God's sake get up, Mrs. Brown is dying." I got up and put on my things, and told them to go for • medical mail. I after warJa went to the house and saw the deceased. The pri soner was there, and said, "It is all over. I told you how it would be." I then went for Mr. Clark, the medical man, who came, but deceased was then lifeless. Francis Clark, 14, Heisriettaatreet, Cavendish-square, surgeon —I was in the habit of attending deceased. Yes terdey morning, between one cad two, I was called up to attend deceased, whom I was informed had met with an accident. I at one. sent my son, who shortly returned, saying that she was dead.

BUILDERS' TINDRILL—A now system for the con struction of railways wee Wonted—namely, by tender—for the Middleeberoogh sad Onisbereagh Railwity. They were opened last week at the alms of Mr. Pease, M.P., Darling ton. Mr. John HUTU . / wee the lowest tender, and was ac cepted for 19,0001. The tenders rang. d to 37,0001. The line Is II miles, and is to be completed by December, 1853. The tender includes stations and inconveniences, excepting the iron for rails, chairs, &e. THE IMPORT DUTY ON FOREIGN RABBITS. When the late Sir Robert Peel reformed the tariff so as to free the people's food from those particular duties which during a long period of protectionist rule had ruade it systematically dear, the item " rabbite " was omitted. The import dutT on dead meat was abolished ; poultry and game were admitted at a certain ad valorem duty ; but rab bits, dead or olive, in which there had hitherto been no trade, were not thought of sufficient importance to he spe cifically excluded by a high duty, or to be admitted by • specific mention of them as one of the articles of food on which in future no import duty was t be charged. This omission has given rise to mum doubt and inconvenience to a new branch of trade which the reformed tariff has created. The small two and three-acre farmers of Belgium who are probably amongst the most sate, prising and indefatigable of the fanning race—the moment our restrictions on foreign imports war, removed oximmenced the breeding of rabbits to a large extent, and hays produced those immense supplies whichour poulterers' shops have been of Late years displaying on Saturday nights for the behoof of the working clamies, under the name of Ostend Rabbits. But a question has arisen with the Custom-bouse authorities as to what is the precise descrip tion under which this new description of foreign food shall come in, and Custom-house Zoology has decided that dead rabbits are poultry, and as such are subj• et to five per cent. ad matorens duty. This decision has occasioned much inconvenience to the salesmen engaged In this trade, and has Merited to restrict the supply, not so much on account of the duty as the Cur tom-house regulations, which often prevent the introduction of the animals until they are unfit for human food. To memorialise the Board of Trade on the subject, • meeting of the importers and salesmen connected with Leadenhall Market was held in September last, at which Ca. min resolutions were passed, appointing • "deputa tion to confer with the Oencnd Steam Navigation Com pany, to induce them to facilitate the conveyance of the 'aid!, and to consider Ow propriety of ap llying to the Board of Trade to remove the duty evied on rabbits, meat being free." And last night • supplementary meeting took place at the Bose end Crown, Leadenhall-market, to receive their report. The chair was taken by Mr. 0. Brooke, common-councilman for the ward, who stated that so important had the trade in Ostend rabbits become that, whereas, 15 years ago, the article was hardly saleable in London, now there were from fifty to a hundred tons • week imported, affording animal food Icr 1001,000 people at the rate of fib. each. The great market was of course Saturday, but inconsequence of the Customs regula tions, the rabbits were frequently not delivered till 9, 10, and sometimes 11 o'clock at night, and the consequence was that they were often rendered unfit for human toed before they could be sold • and the persons engaged in the trade (numberings Mme 1,000 persons, including salesmen, porters, and others), were depraved of their ordirary Sabbath rest. The duty was not of itself a very serious item, but as the Ostend packets came in frequently after Custom-house hours on the day preceding the market, and as extra pay ment was required to obtain the delivery of the goods on the Game evening, the freight of Is. 6d. per case, was thus raised to • charge of 155., which was • serious matter. To show the severity with which these regulations premed upon the trade he might mention that one sales man, Mr. Davenes,; lost 1201. in two weeks last season in consequence of the delay they occasioned. The Steam Navigation Company had met the deputation in the most handsome way and had undertaken to Pail their boats from Ostend not later than 12 o'clock on the Friday night, so that they might arrive in London by the middle of the Saturday at the latest, which was all the saleenten required ; and all that was now needed was the removal of the vexatious Cos tom house restrictions. _ _ w ßewlutioas confirming the proceedings of the meeting of the 24th of September, and authorising tioeutualcatioss to be entered into with the Board of Trade in furtherance of the object were agreed to, and, after a vote of Chaska to the chairman, the meeting separated. EMBEZZLED MATERIALS AT MANCHESTER. About a fortnight ago we gave in the Ex press a report of a eue heard before the magistrates at Manchester, in which two men, named Pox and Mamie, had been seined (along with a large quantity of cotton, silk and worsted warps and weft, found in their possession) by the polies, on suspicion of having purchased the goods, knowing them to be the products of embeasiements by working people. The prisoners, who had been appre hended by Mr. Richard Remick, chief superintendent of police, were not only found in possession of nearly a cart load of materiels used by weavers, but no two bundles of the goods were of the same colour, or dye, or guilty, or in such quantity as might be expected to be fount in the posses- W= of a regular dealer. They were in such quantities, and of such a variety, as might be expected to bi accumu lated by purchasing them from handloom weavers, taking warp and weft out to make up into goods at home, and em bezzling small portions; and st will be remembered that it was stated in evidence by the police that when they took the prisoners several working people were in their shop with small quantities of such goods to sell. The statute under which the prisoners had been taken, and their goods mixed, was that of Gee. 111., by which the onus of proving that the goods were lisanstly ebtaised is thrown upon the primers, and the sem had bees reemaded until yesterday as give then that appertualty.

In answer to questions by Mr. Riga, these witnesses said the prisoners had bought such goods in job lots Irom Sir John Potter and Co., Mr. Moulds worth, and other respectable merchants. Mr. Maude asked why such gentlemen as these were not put into the hoz to prove that they had sold the goods, or goods similar to these, to the prisoners. After a long and patient hearing, the magistrates ex pensed themselves of opinion that the prisoners had not accounted for pow• salon of the goods, and inflicted a penalty of 2W. on each of the prisoners, with forfeiture of ' the goods. The prieinere, in default of payment, were committed for a mouth.

RAILWAY IN lELLIGEfa (Me tbe aty mini* of tas Daily New.) • MONDAY EVIKIWO. The Birmingham and Oxford Railway is now open, and we have heard numerous inquiries as to the tenor of the act of parliament by which the traffic charges of the Great Western Company are compulsorily reduced, and also as to the extent of such reduction. The clause of the act is as follows, from which it will be seen that the reduction in question is fixed to take . place at tho expiration of one month from the opening of the new line: 39. And whereu by the Greet Western Railway Amend ment and Extension Act, 1817, it was provided, that from and after the transfer of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway, and of the Birmingham, Wolverhamp ton, and Dudley Railway, or anv part thereof, to the Great Western Railway Company, the tolls and charges on the Great Western Railway, and the branch railways by that Act authorised to be made, Ail old be reduced es therein mentioned Be it enacted, hat from and after the expira tion of one month after the opening of the Birmingham and ()aura Junction Railway, and Birmingham, Wolver hampton, and Dudley Railway, or any part thereof, for the public conveyance of goods or passengers, whether such transfer shall then have been cotnpleti d or not, it shall not be lawful for the Great Wrsteen Railway Com pany to demand or receive fur the use of the Great Wes tern Railway, or the said branch railways, or any other railways to which the aforesaid provisions for reduction of tolls or charges may apply, in respect of passengers, cattle, or good*, or for propelling power, or for the conveyance of pauengers, cattle, or goods, article., matters or things, along the said railways, and of carriages, and for locomo tive power, and every other expense incidental to such con veyance as aforesaid (except givernment duty), any rates, tolls, or charges, exceeding those prescribed and authorised to be taken by the said Great Western Railway Company, in "The Great Western Railway (Amendment and Ex tension) Act, 1817." _ _ _ As regards the extent of thu reduction we believe the subjoined statement will be found accurate, the comparison lying between the scale of fares received up to this time and the new reduced scale : London and 'tending, 3.5 t miles.

We are not aware of the precise scale of the Great Western charges fur the conveyance of goods, no such documents having been published, but on a comparison between the old scale establis . ted by parliament, and the new reduced tariff, we find the reductions on this branch of butiness to rule as follows : Average redaction &brat West Drayton r e oat. Beadiag7g ~ Badt Bristol This statemtnt, however, cannot be so fully relied on, for the reason above stated. We are also aware that statements have been in circulation tending to prove that whilst the railway will lose upon its passenger receipts, the return from the goods trine will actually show a gain. It may be reasonably doubted, however, if this latter will be the case. The inhabitants of a large section of the kingdom are interested in the change about to be made in the tariff of this greet line, and mach interest will be felt to see the result of this sudden reduction. It appears reasonable to infer that for some time to conic the receipts must be sensibly affected, but there then comes the ques tion if the reduced charges will not have a strong tendency to stimulate travelling all along the line, so that the increased number of passengers will go far to make up the loss. In any case the Great Western shareh, lders cannot but congratulate them selves at the change being made at the present pe riod, when, owing to the prosperity of all classes of the nation, the traffic in every part of the kingdom is marked by so much elasticity. The award of Messrs. liopc and Stephenson, the arbitrators in the dispute between the London and North Western and North Staffordshire Railway Companies, was published to-day after a lengthened delay. The "conclusions" recommended for adop tion by the two companies are as follows: I. The London and North Western Company to acquire absolutely the railways, canals, and whole fixed and move able property of the North Staffordshire Company. 2. The London and North Western Con.pany, in con sideration thereof, to pay the North Staffordshire Company upon tteir present peidtip share capital an annual dividend of 3 per cent. daring the first year, of 31 per cent. during the second year, and of 31 per cent. during the third and all subsequent years: provided, that it shall be in the option of the London and North Western Company at any time, nun six months' notice, to convert the share capital of th e North Staffordshire Company into ordinary stock of the London and North Western Company at par. 3. The paid-up there capital of the North Staffordshire Company to be taken, as stated by themselves, at 2,W28 ,00W., and the nominal amount of the shares to be re duced from 2W. to 171. 10s. 4. The London and North Western Company to under take the canal net or dividend, the bond debt, and all other liabilities of the North Staffordshire Company : Pro vided that if the bond debt, as estimated by the North Staf fordshire Company with a view to coves ail existing liabili ties, shall be found to exceed 1,050,0001., the London and North Western Company shall be entitled to &duct from the dividend payable upon the North Staffordshire share capital a yearly sum equal to interest at 31 per cent. on the 6. The obligation of the London and North Westem Com pony to pay the dividends under Article 2, and to discharge the liabilities ander Article 4, to commence from the time at which the transfer of the North Staffordshire property shall be legally completed. 8. The two companies to apply to parliament at joint ex pense in the neat session for immediate p 'seers to the above effect, and in case of failure to renew the application in sue- eroding sessions. Should parliament three times reject the application upon merits, and not merely on formal points, the engagement between the companies to cease. The recommendations of the arbitrators appear to ' be regarded with satisfaction by the North Stafford shire shareholders, judging from the rise in the shares to-day. REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. (Trout Ws Mork Law rurpress.) _ _ The wheat trade haiMairiiained a very firm tone since our last, and though no quotable advance has been es tablished in prices, the tendency has on the whole been up wards. The eaferiority of the quality of the new, and the unsatisfactory condition in which the greater proportion of the supply has come to hand, have tended to render pur chasers cautious; and to this cause the want of activity which we have for some weeks past had to notice may be in a great measure attributed. The millers find that they cannot use the soft samples of new except with a larger mixture of old than usual, and they are, consequently, de terred from baying the former freely. The trade may, however, be described as decidedly . healthy. A consider able portion of what was bought during the excitement in August has already gone into consumption, and the stocks in the hands of merchants, millers, and dealers have again been reduced into a moderate compass. A more extensive demand may, therefore, be shcrtly expected; and, unless the supplies should prove more liberal than calculated on, a gradual rise in prices of the finer kinds of new and the best descriptions of old wheat may be pretty safely reckoned upon. The arrivals from abroad have latterly been tolerably good; the greater part of the supply has been from porta east of Gibraltar. Many of the cargoes had been sold to go to Ireland before they reached our shores, and the majority of those not previously disposed of have since been taken for the same destination. From the Baltic the receipts have not hitherto been large; some quantity is, however, known to be on passage. What the supply may amount to cannot be we from the number of vessels (wheat laden) bound to Br' weeks, we are disposed thence will not in the With regard to the probai. our eorn.growers, the sum but we may remark that present log to induce large supplirr Lively lower than spring e- bring forward thelatter these circumstances we the supplies of hotae-gro , ticululy sanguine of lull good steady demand at current by no moans unlikely. be ascertained exactly, butjudging vessels which have passed the Sound to British ports within the last few rased to thing that the supply front to first instance be very Important. abable extent of the deliv i 4 . •. s . usual amount of uncer , ..4„ : .,...1 4 .k.....
