IRELAND. Dant.tw. Az°. 13. The approaching royal visit is a topic of general conversation, but the absence of any official announce- spent or public preparation of any kind gives reason to fear that the visit of her Majesty will be attended by lees pomp and circumstance than the popular wish would have it to be. The following paragraph in the Post of this evening is semi-official, but conveys ' little information on the subject that the public were not in possession of before : We are enabled to announce, with certainty, that her Melesty is salemputle recovered from her recent illness to fulfil her imams°a of visiung Inland.

At the great masa banquet of the Roe llirey lr a iah Agricultural Society, which took plass in on Thursday, sad which the Lord Limmemart honoured with his the Duke of lLslaster, president of the eesiaty, took the chair. His Excel lency, in reply to the teen of his health, expressed his gust 'stannic's at the whole appearance of the show, and in referring to the progress which agri culture has lately made in this country, said : Under the *Eighty circumstances of agriculture, it is necessary that all agriculturists must be up and stirring. ; (Rear, hear.) These are not times for slovenly farming. ; (Rear, hear.) The farmer must improve his land or quit it. (Rear.) When I say that there mast be so slovenly farming, I do set mesa to convey that farming mast necessarily be expensive. I say that the great prob. lea which the agricalturiste of the three kingdoms have to solve is, hew the greatest amount of produce may be oh tathed at the least possible cost. (Hear.) And when I say at the least possible cost, I do not mesa you to under stand the least possible outlay ; for I as sure that for good cultivation a large expenditure is in the Int instance as. onsary. Ton cannot have good stock, or good implements, or good belidiap, without a considerable outlay ; but that outlay is women, and that ou•lay will soon repay itself, sad without that outlayso good cultivatesa is possible. (..Hear," sad cheers.) Iforever, I think that no cultiva tion can be ratable which is not condemned on scientific principles; and therefore it is that I would strongly re commend the egricultaralista of Ireland to apply them selves to those ornentilic modes of cultivation, with regard to manure sad implements, which new occupy the atten tion of agriculturalists in other parts of the United King dom. (Hew, hear.) I have witnessed with great sada fettles the spread of agricultural knowledge throughout the length sad breadth of Irelaad, and I can myself tes tify that ethos the period of my former residence in this county, some tea years ego, the importance of agriculture in all parts of** eoentry has become more extensively ap preciated. ("Bear, bear," and cheers.) Mr. J. F. Merits, M.P. for Dungarvon, having consented to resign his seat at the close of the ses sion, on condition that Mr. Edmond O'Flaherty, his opponent at the late election, should withdraw his petition against his return, and that they should thus fight the battle over again at the hustings, instead of entrusting their fate to a committee of the House of Commons, has addressed his constiniente previous to his accepting the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. Maguire appeals to the servicee which he has rendered the popular cause during the session, and seems to have a tolerably fair chance of getting his scat back again. It is stated that Mr. Bemis)), the liberal candi date for Cork, has received promises of support from several parties who have hitherto thrown their interest into the scale with Colonel Chatterton ; while the recent conduct of the latter will certainly not have the compensating effect of serving his in terest among the ranks of the liberals and Roman catholic.. The High Sheriff ham, as was expected, fixed the nomination for Wednesday next. The shelving of the Irish land bills in the House of Lords will have the natural effect of restoring vitality to the Irish Tenant League. The committee of that body is summoned to meet on Tuesday next to reorganise their agitation, and the whole question will be opened anew. Had those bills become law in the shape in which they passed the House of Com moos, or even with some slight modification, any further agitation of the subject in Ireland would have been scarcely possible. The harvest accounts to-day are as favourable as they have been for several days past. The Irish Formers' Gazette of tins week publishes 44 letters from practical agricultural friends in refe rence to the potato crop, from which it would ap pear, that in nearly every locality some symptoms of the &mesas has appeared. In nearly every ease they are, however, very slight—in some few the reverse is the fact. In the west the development is more slow, and more than two-thirds of the correspondents speak of the disease se being of a " mild " or " miti gated" form. Arrests have been made in Belfast of parties against whom there are very strong proofs of nom plicity in the abominable society of Ribbonmen ; and several documents of a most conclusive character have fallen into the hands of the police.

He now attended on • writ of habeas corpus, and applied for his discharge on the ground that be was unjustly and unlawfully kept in prison and had been so for more than 20 years. He urged that when the prison in Wales was closed ha was entitled to his discharge. A return to the writ of habeas was pro duced by the officer of the Queen's Prison. Two gentlemen attended in opposition—one from the office of Messrs. Blosam and the other from the office of Milne and Co. They informed his lordship that • similar application was made two years ago to Mr. Justice Wight man, and he had told the defendsat to file his schedule in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, where some years ago • vest ng order was made, and a firm (Lewis and Lewis) hal offered to proceed for him free of expense, but he would nut let them. The defedsnt declared that it was not true. He pro duced several papers, at d entreated his lordship to order his discharge after his long imprisoament. His lordship told the old man that he could not assist him; he must file his schedule. 'fhis def ndaut considered that he was unjustly detained and would not file his schedule.

His debts were 5,542/ ; liabilities., 1,0221. ; assets in good debts, 2,5601. ; property emoigned to Melbourne, 2,2211. The profits (during two years and a q prior to the failure in May last) had been 1,.5511, ; 137/. ; expenses, 1,7411. Mr. Taylor, on behilf of the assignees, offered no oppo sition. Mr. Pickett, a creditor, put a few questions to the bank rupt as to his bill transactions, tut stated he did not wish to offer any opposition. Mr. Lsonnice, for the bankrupt, attributed the failure to that of Mot, a West India merchant, with whom the bankrupt had had business :ransactions, and had accepted largely on his account. Bellot was in good credit at the time, and was trusted by the leading merchants in London. His Honour said that the acceptance of an accommoda tion bill of any kind was a commercial offence, inumuch as it was a misrepresentation to the public. In this case the bankrupt's youth and inexperience might plead his excuse. There were also favourable circums anus in the case. The moment he discovered his position he had placed himself in communication with his creditors, and had done all in his power to redress the injury he lad caused. No doubt be had intended to act honestly ; bat it was impossible for tte court, looking at the amount of accommodation paper to which he had put his name (upwards of 5,0001. worth), to grant • higher certificate than one of the second class, which would be granted forthwith.

MartAn Washer was indicted fur haring administered to Philip Walker a quantity of augar of lead, with intent to murder him. Mr. Orerend and Mr. Higgins appeared for the prose cution, and Mr Sowler for the prisoner. The prosecutor is an operative cotton spinner at Ashton-under-Lyme, and has lived with the prisoner in comfort for about twenty years, until about twelve months ago, since which time they have had frequent quarrels The prisoner is the mother of eleven children. ' On the 21st of May the prosecutor returned home at mit night, and the prisoner struck her ion, upon which the prosecutor interfered. The prisoner said to him, "Hold your d—d noise ; you shall not live three weeks." He then asked if she was going to poison him, to which she replied "No, thou may live as long as thou can." He hit her with a poker. On the evening of the 24th, upon the pro- secutor returning home from work, he got some coffee, which tasted disagreeable and rough, but he did not men tion this to his wife. During the night he got up to get some water, and he then told her how he felt. Upon get ting up at live o'clock in the morning, he took a parcel of coffee and sugar fur his breakfast. 0.1 pouring it out at breakfast-time, he saw some white grains, and he took the stuff to Mr. Star, this druggist, and requested him to analyse it. Oa the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, he continued very unwell, and accused her of attempting to poison him; but she denied having put anything into his coffee. She said some sugar of lead mast have fallen from a glass in the cupboard into kis sugar and coffee. She said that she got the lead for the purpose of bathing her face, which had been affected by St. Anthony's fire. she recommended him to get some castor oil. The prosecutor gave information to Inspector Buckley, who apprehended the prisoner, and the coffee was analysed by Mr. Stone of the Manchester School of Medi cine, who found acetate of lead. The principal witness for the proseentioa was of course the prosecutor Unwell, who stated the leading facts of the ease and the symptoms under which he laboured. He was arses-ezmained at considerable length by Mr. Sowliir, and admitted that he had occasional) y taken laudanum at Inaba, but in the day time. In this, however, he was flatly contradicted by his sone, who stated that they had frequently seen their father take laudanum in the day time ; sometimes with a spoon and sometimes he drank it out of a bottle. - Beckley. the °Mar, stated the fact of his apprehending tha prisoner. Mr. We. Stone, analytical chemist, stated that le exa mined two parcels from Mr. Berkley, and found a quantity of w►ite pains, which proved to be acetate of lead. Dr. Geo. Woollens, a physician, penctinag at Ashton seder-Lyme, stated that be visited the prosecutor, and found that he was labouring under symOmas indicating the ab sorption of lead. One small dose of acetate of lead would not have produced those symptoms. They must have been sassed by repeated doses. One large does would not have prod uaed them.

Brown, lioensed victualler, of Beer-lane, Lower Tnernee-street,seid—at half-past eight o'clock on Thursday night the prisoner came to my house with two others, a nd asked for two sixpences. I thought he meant fors shilling, end was going to give hies the sixpences, but he said he did not want change, he wanted two bottles of soda water. I put two bottles on the counter, and he said that was not the right soda water, end his master would send it back again. I returned the sods water to its place, but the primer still stood there, and I said, what are you stopping fort He said, " I went my shilling." I said, I did not Wu any shilling, and he said he put it on the counter, and I took it up. I told him if he did not go out of the house I would give him in charge; he then began to grumble, end went away. Mr. Scott, a licensed victualler, living in Cannon-street, deposed to the prisoner playing o ff a similar trick et hie house, and obtained two shillings by it. He asked the bar maid for four sixpences for two shillings, and when she produced the sixpences he said he did not want them , what be wasted was four bottles of Davis's soda-water. Four bottles of soda-water were brought to him, end in the meantime another person came in, and was served with half-a-pint of beer. The prisoner, who said that the soda water was not Davis',, asked for his two shillings. The barmaid said she bad not bed any money from him, where upon the prisoner abused the young woman, and she was so frightened by his insulting end abusive conduct that she took from the till two shillings, end placed them on the counter. In the meantime witness appeared, and having heard something of the matter, asked the prisoner if the two shillings on the counter were hie. The prisoner having replied in the affirmative, witness told him to take the money end be off. The prisoner took the money and went sway; but witness, having heard all the fasts of the case, followed him end took him into muitody. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Brown, the first witness, pointed out Edward Hewett, a man who was amongst the strangers in the justice-room, as one of the companions of the prisoner at the house when the trick was attempted to be played there. Hewett wee then apprehended, by order of the Lord Mayor, and placed et the bar. Mr. Brown said—Whilst I was serving Cooper with the soda water, Hewett came forward, and asked mTwife he half a pint of porter, and put down half-iscrown on the counter; end my wife gave him four sixpences and the thew owes ; and Hewett amid she had only put down three eimpesses, and said he would not go till he got the other sigma's. One of my customers said he saw four sixpence', sod then Hewett shuffled the money and said he had found It.

In one case it was proved that the prisoner had offered to sell a pit order fur a theatre in the Stritud for Is., but generally he bad presented the orders, and then requested "something to drink," hoping Miriade t►e legal consequenes of a false pretence by being thus enabled to say that the stoney received by him was the voluntary gift of the prosecutors The tretsurer of the theatre 'said that as many as thirty of the sham orders were presented in one night, so that about sill people were doomed to disappointment. The prisoner was committed (or trial. MA RLBO ROl.l OH • STREET. Jacques Trial:our, Henri Joseph, and Gabriel Mirkl were charged with stabbing Ann Clancy. It appeared that the complainant was an Irish unfortunate, and in company with another woman named Margaret Kunio, on Monday night last, met the prisoners who in cited them to several public houses to drink. O n coming into tha street Joseph put his arm round Clancy's waist, and asked her to go home with him, or take him home with her, but she refused to do either. He withdrew his arm str'- denly, and she then felt in her back a sharp pain, and fell to the ground, exclaiming that she was stabbed. Whilst on the ground the prisoner (trialloux) kicked her in an ink ' mom and unmanly manner. Hs also attacked the other woman, and bit her finger severely. These two men then ran away, and Martel came up and also kicked the com plainant in an infamous manner whilst on the ground. The prisoners were traced to another public house, and when they found the police were after them, Joseph was seen to throw something away, which, en being picked up, turned out to be a dagger limbs. The complainant was carried to Middlesex Hospital, eMd Mr. Grant, one of the house sur geons, proved that she had a wound in her back about an inch and a half deep, running in the direction of the spine. The knife produced wan the sort of instrument which wound make such wound. The prisoaers were committed for trial. - - - On Saturday, at this court, a father and step-mother were charged with great cruelty and inhumanity towards three children, of the respective ages of nine, sis, and four years. The parties charged were Henry Ball, who de scribed him.elf as a compositor, and Jana, his wife, and were brought before the Hon. 0. C. Norton for examina tion when the other business of the day had been disposed of Adam Saunders, one of the warrant officers of this court. stated that iu consequence of a summons obtained by Mr. Gerrard, one of the relieving officers of the parish of Lam beth, be proceeded about eight o'clock on Thursday evening last to the house, No. 140, Little Vauxhall terrace, Vauxhall, for the purpose of servi,g the sum monses on the defendants. On making inquiries of the people in the house he ascertained that the defendants had been in the habit of going out at 10, 11, and 12 o'clock in the day and stopping out until the same hours at night, and that the children were then locked up in the back and front parlours, which the defend ants occupied. He remained for upwards of an hour, and, finding the defendants did not return, he called out through the key-hole of the front parlour, and after • little time the eldest girl opened the door, and on entering the apartment he saw both the children in • filthy, emaciated, and evi dently • grossly neglected state. He inquired about the third child, and was informed that he was locked up in the back room. One of the lodgers in the houre brought a key that unlocked the door, and atter searching about for rime few moments he found the little boy, who was not quite four years of age, in a sort of cupboard, perfectly naked, on • few filthy rags. The poor little fellow at the time pre sented a most shocking spectacle, and did not appear to be half the site of • child of his age. Hie bones appeared to be very nearly through the flesh, sod he was in • very dis graceful filthy state. A young woman in the house pro cured some articles Df clothing, which she put on the little fellow, and had him removed to Lambeth workhouse, but, before doing so, he bad him taken to a neighbouring public house, and gave him a little wine and some buns, the latter of which he devoured with the greatest avidity. Having left the child under thecare of a nurse, and procured some bred and butter for him at the workhouse, he (Sanders) went back to the residence of the defendants, and, finding he wife had just come home, he served her with both the Several witnesses were called, who spoke to having fre quently heard both the defendants severely beating the children, and particularly the little boy, who was the youngest. They also spoke of their grass neglect and want of food, and some of them said they had seen the children eat raw pota•oes and candles. The male defendant, in rep'y to the charge, said that he lost his late wife about eighteen months ago, and married gala I. about four months after to his present wife, that she utibt hot after his children. His youngest child was suariarttuoi disease, and was of very (tally habits, so that it was most difficult to keep him cleanly or healthy-looking. He admitted that he had corrected the child, but denied that he had done so to the extent that had been represented, or anything like it, and charged the female witnesses who had teen called with gross exaggeration. He had no idea that a charge of so serious a nature would be made against him, and therefore had not prodded himself with any legal assistance, nor had he his friends present to speak to his character and rebut much of the testimony given. Under these circumstances, he hoped his warship would adjourn the case to a future day. Hr. Norton said he had no objection to do so, and also to take bail for the attendance of himself and his wife on a future day, but the bail must be unexceptionable and substantial. The pnseaere were then remanded to a future day, and not befog prepared with the necessary bail were sent to prison. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1853 NAVAL. DEVONFORT, At m. 14.—The Plymouth yacht and the Avon steam tender, at this port, were amongst the I vessels devoted to the accommodation of parties to witness. the grand naval review at Spithead, on Thursday. The ' yacht took up Commodore Seymour, his family and a select party ; and the Avon, Master-Commander A. J. Leitch, I received on board, at Portsmouth, • party of ladies and gentlemen invited by the Admiralty, including some mem bers of the government, members of Parliament, end high official persons. The Avon returned from Portsmouth on Saturday, and towed down the Plymouth yacht. The Sag of Commodore Seymour, which had been struck dur ing his absence, was on Saturday re-hoisted on board the St. George, Capt. J. Hingcome, the ordinary guard-ship at this port. The Brisk steamer, Commodore Seymour, is is Barnpool, having some extra fitments made. The Sybille, 40, Captain Elliot, bent sails on Thursday, and was on Friday towed out of harbour by the Pike said Contact* steamers. When in the Sound she saluted the fig; of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir John A. Ommaney, which was answered by the Impregnable, Capt. A. Lowe, the port Sag-ship. The Falmouth lighter arrived yesterday (Saturday) with stores from Pembroke dockyard. THE DEVONPORT DOCKYARD.—Out of a list of thirty eight candidates for entry as shipwrights' appren tices, the Lords of the Admiralty have selected six, who were entered in last week. The names of the six boys are Fittoek, Barber, Ellis, Bishop, Burn, sad Robins. The smiths having received an assurance that the system of pay ing them on job and task, by which they sustained the loss of their work not reaching the standard, but had no advan tage if it exceeded the standard, have expressed their con tent, and are quietly pursuing their work. The shipwrights are actively engaged in fitting and prepsring for sea the St. Jean d'Are, new screw steamer. It was thought this fine ship would have been ready to have taken a prominent position in the grand muster at Spithead last week, but it I was found impossible. ALARMINO COLLISION AT LONDON -BRIDGE AND SINKING or • LAIIOII STE•3IIIO•T.—Lut night (Sunday) about half-pest 8 o'clock, a fearful accident took place on the River T ha mes, near London-bridge, which has resulted in the sinking of the Niobe, London and Woolrieh steam boat, and serious injury to the Regent, trader, from Maid stone to London. It appears that the Regent was proceed inn up the river, with a fall cargo, being towed by the crew, with the aid of their bout, when in passing under die bridge the men espied the steamboat making way towards them; they therefore Cried out to the people en the steamer to alter their coarse, hut before that was done the Niobe and the Regent cams into violent collision with each other , so much so that when they struck they wads a noise like the discharge of a gun. It was soon seen that the steam boat was the mast injured of the two vessels, for almost im mediately the water rushed through the bottom of the boat, and Bean were entertained that she would sink before those on board had time to reach the shore. She was at ones ran under Mr. Alderman Humphrey's wharf, where she sank, those on board (fortunately consisting of the crew only) having barely sufficient time to get on land. The other vessel, it is stated, has also received considerable damage, but was able to proceed on her journey. It is ex ceedingly fortunate that the collision did not take place an hour sooner, when the steam beat would have been crowded with passengers, for if such had been the case the lose of life, in all probability, that would have occurred would be (earful to contemplate. Which of the two vessels was the moving cause of the accident, is at present un known• DEPARTURE OF THE ARABIA.—On Saturday, about two tededi., the British and North American Royal Mail steamship Arabia, Capt.

COTTON.—LtvxarooL, Avo. 13. —The market closed tamely and steadily, without any change in price since Fri day. The gales of cotton amounted to 8,000 des, and comprised 6,000 American (2,000 for earn°, 600 Pernams and Ileranhems, chiefly at 71d. ; 100 Bahia, 6:41. ; 500 Egyrian, 61d. to 9d. ; and 500 Surat, 311. to sd. MaIaCHISTIIt, AUGUST 13.—There has been but a mode rate business to-day, but there is more c..nlidence among buyers, and the aggregate sales of the week have been pro bably equal to the production in yarns, though in cloth tome little may have been added to stoc ks. Spinners are looking with some anxiety at this period of the year to the estimates of the forthcoming crop of cotton, which late receipts have given rather favourable accounts of, and as the stock in Liverpool is now 800,140 bales (of which 641,520 are American), against 666,510 bales at the same time last year, they will probably exercise caution in their purchases, in the fear that prices may give way. The pur sham s of the trade in Liverpool this week have been limited to about 28,000 bales. These are facts which are regarded here by the buyers ' as well as by the producers of cotton goods, and will probably account to some extent for rather less activity towards the close than at the commencement of the week. For yarns, the home trade are the principal customers; but exporters have operated more freely than in some past weeks. In cloths there has been a fair business in domestic., and the heave r makes, especially, are very firm in price ; whilst printing cloths, including also narrow muslins, such as are used by the Glasgow houses (or printing, have gone off well. In shirting', long-cloths, and T.cloths, the demand has been more moderate. The prices of all these goods are steady, and yarns realise full prices, except where their value is affected by some irregularity arising out of the late strikes. WOOLLEN CLOTH—Lamm, Atro. 13—We have had • very good market to-day. There has been as excellent business done in the coloured cloth hall, Melton', beavers, pilots, and beady all other kinds of goods adapted for the fall trade, both in mixtures and plain colours, have sold well ; and • very large quantity of th se descriptions of gouda have changed owners. The manufacturers attending the white cloth ball are rather inclined to complain of their market as having been flat and quiet, and below an average. The stock of cloth in the market is very small, and almost void of goods that are of a saleable character ; prices are firm with an upward tendency. There continues to be a good steady trade done in the warehouses ; for, although the shipping houses are drawing their business for the season to a close, the steady demand for the home trade at once supplies the void. ST. PETERSBURG, Aro. 6. Bristles: The demand continues at our lag quotations. Corn : Wheat remains firm, tut with little doing this week. Deals: Nominal Flat: 60 tors taken of a minor dealer at 1224, 105, and 95 ro.; and 200 ton. of Koraleff at 125, 110, and 100 ro. Ard.tmatsky holds at 130, 115, and 102 ro.: and the total remaining is first hands is estimated at about 13.5,000 ponds. Hemp : Busine•a continues limited to tnfles. Linseed : The purchases of the week are about 9,000 chets. The inferior descrirftions are neglected. For Morshansk on the spot:29 to. paid. Tallow : About 2,500 to 3.000 casks done dunng the week, mostly on the spot, at 144, 1434 ro. (though 146 ro. was paid for trifles), and partly at 142 ro. 104 to. down for August. The market clines quiet. Freights continue very high, and room exceedingly scarce. liAßDWAßß.—Biastixonese, Aro. I3.—Again during the week there have tome in a very large amount of orders, and more than 141 average number have been given out to the manufacturers. Buyers, too, have been here in search of goods, which they are unable to obtain, and we have heard of houses which have been offered orders which it would take them months to execute. Indeed for many weeks past orders have been accumulating to such an extent that the manufacturers scarcely know which way to turn, for large as their means of production in many branches are, there appears no such thing es satisfying the demand : from all quarters there comes the same call for our goods, till the wonder is where they ultimately go fb and how they are disposed of ; even the poor German trade, perhaps the most beggarly and cut-up foreign trade we have, exhibits un wonted symptoms of briskness, and large orders (for a better class of goods too than usual) are coming in every post. Neither does there appear syroptou.s of anything like a cheek nor indications of any sort as to when this unprece dented prosperity will subside. In • great many branches the manufactories are being extended and in whole streets the lights are burning far into the night, still there are complaint* that the men don't work long enough, and that the orders still accumu late on hand. For the most part, too, there are no stock* worthy of notice. Country shopkeepers make the same re port, and they are eager buyers whenever goods are to be obtained. The factors' travellers are sending home immense sheets of orders, and front out of the way corners of the country, shopkeepers And their way here for the express purpose of expediting the completion of orders which the factors are unable to get executed. In every branch worthy of notice the report is without variation; trades which have been dull for years have revived, and for articles in general use there seems no end to the demand. We hear of prin cipals working fourteen or sixteen hours • day, there are no good workmen of any sort to be obtained, and the local journals have of late had their columns occupied with scores of advertisements for workmen, who are not to be obtained. From Wolverhsmpton and the surrounding district we re ceive reports well nigh as gratifying. All persons are as busy as they can be, and pressed with more orders than they know what to do with. The No-plate manufacture is imoroving, some considerable orders having come in during the last fortnight. There is still a good deal of anxiety relative to the price of metals, an im pression prevailing that the enormous demand for goods will produce a return of the speculative manic, and that another rapid advance is at hard; we very much doubt, however, whether Ours will be anything of the sort—that the price of metals will be kept firm, there cannot be • doubt, especially as regards tin, which is understood to be somewhat scarce; but as to speculation, the last winter's mischief is too recent to make a recurrence of that folly highly improbable. We understand that a meeting of per sons engaged in the copper trade has been held in the course of the weak, and that there was a feeling against any ad vance of price. The iron trade continues herilthy; pigs have considerably advanced since quarter day, and stocks thereof have been considerably reduced ; for plates and sheets there are some large foreign orders, especially for America, and before long there must be • very great demand for rails for Canada. The coal trade continues brisk; the quantity brought into the district is still very large, but as the Consumption must be very great, higher prices will again in all probability prevail through the winter. METALS.—Mr. Moate's circular states that rails eon tinue iu demand, and large orders which are in the market are kept back, in hopes that the men may return to their work, and purchases be effected on more favourable terms. Great complaints are made of the inconvenience and losses occasioned by the difficulty in obtaining fulfilment of contracts. Bar iron continues in good request. Scotch Pig Iron : In consequence of the intelligence of the expected favourable termination of the Ruuian and Turkish question, this article, which closed heavily on Saturday last at 675., opened on Monday morning at 695., and before the close of the day reached as high as 605., at which a very large busi ness has been dens for early cash ; the stock Is not half what it was three months since; the prices leave off as follows : for mixed numbers, via., 3-fths. No. 1, and 2-fthe. No. 3, 65e. prompt cash; No. 1 Gartsherrie, 70e. ; and No. 1 Glen garnoek, 71s. The demand is still unabated, even in the facie of enormous high freights, and it it continues at the urgent rate, we shall see what has never yet been seen in the iron trade,vis.,Glasgow without& stock of pig iron. Some of the Scotch ironmasters are buying largely to meet their engagements. Staffordshire pig iron has sympathised with Scotab, and a very large bueiness has been done, both here and in Liverpool ; most of the sp^culative lots have been cleared off the market. Spelter : A good business doing ; some purchases have been effected at 211. 10s. on the spot, and 221. September and October shipment. The stack is very small. Swedish iron is dull of sale. Swedish Steel : Several purchases have been made at rates which have not transpired. Copper in good demand. English Tin : Ano ther advance is talked of. Banca tin is very firm, and holders are indisposed to sell at present rates. Tin plates without alteration. CORN.—OAIIBRIDOE, Aug. 13.—We bed a fair sup ply of new Wheat offering, the quality of which is very good. Old Wheat from 3s. to 4e. lower than last week. Wheat, new, 601. to 625. ; old, 40s. to 44e.; Beaus, 40e. to 425. ; Peas, 345. to Ws. ; Oat., 18e. to 246. CANTERBURY, Aug. 13.—We had a large snpnly, end a very dull sale ; prices from 31. to 4s. lower. New brown Wheat, 605.; old, 465. to 495. ; old, white, 625. to 66e.; old Barley, 315.; old Oats, 221.6 d.; Beans, 381. ; Peas, 345. CARLISLE, Aug. 13.—There was a good supply of Wheat at our market this morning, which sold slowly at a decline of le. to Is. 6d. per bushel. With a fair supply of Oats and Barley, last week's prices were hardly supported, and in some cases a decline of Gd. per bushel was submitted to Wheat, white, old, 21e. 6d. to 23e.; red, old, 20.. to 21e. Bar ley, old, 12s 61. to 13s. 6d. Oats, potato, 9s. to 10s. ; new, 9s. 3d.; common, Ba. to 9s, Flour, per stone, 2s. 2d. to 21 Bd. Oatmeal, Ryemesl, and Barleymeal the same as last week. COLCIIVITIR, Aug. 13.—A short supply of Wheet ; still more than could have bean looked for, considering the pre sent engagements of the growers the sale slow, ar 2.. de cline. Sever►l samples of Tal were offered, and sold at prices from Ms. to 625., weighing 621 b.. to 641 b.. But few Beans, Barley, and Peu ; prices nominally the same. Some new Oats and Peas were offered. The pota toes are much complained of. OLoucsavaii, Aug 13.—The supply of English Wheat at our market this day was not large, but owing to a conti nuance of fine weather, farmers must have given way Is. to 2a. per quarter to effect sales. Foreign was difficult to move at former prices. Barley and Beans held at late rates. The demand for Oats has fallen off, hut we do not alter our Onotations. Imports of the week : Wheat, 8,700 qn. ; ats, 2,315; Beans, 2,600. GUILDFORD, Aug. 13.—There is an abundance of Wheat at market, which buyers are at present unwilling to pur chase, except in small lots for immediate use. The trade was 2s. per qr. lower than last week. Whesr, 40s. to 60s. Oats, I9s. to 21s. Beans, 40e. to 445. New Peas, 40s. MANCRISTRR, AUGUST 13.—The weather throughout the week having continued of the most favourable character, the trade has remained in an exceedingly inactive state, few transactions occurring in any article, and those in flour being at reduced rates. With the exception of about 7,000 qrs. of Indian corn the imports of all articles at Liverpool are on a very limited scale. Our market this morning was of a very lifeless character, and wheat must again be quoted 2d. to 3d. per 7011*. lova. I Flour was quite neglected, although offend at a decline of Is. to 24. per a tele, and 6.1. to Is. per barrel. Oats and oat ' merl sold slowly, the former being the turn cheaper. Neweasnx•erote-Trux, Aug. 13.—The weather this week has been of the most favourable deseripti n, and the crops are stated to have much improved in appearance, and although fine weather may give us fine quality. yet it can not alter the fact of a much less breadth of Wheat being under cultivation than in former years, which circumstance, coupled with the short produce of other nations, leads us to the conclusion that when the aggregate result of the harvest shall have been ascertained, more confidence will be exhi bited ; and it is by no means improbable that any decline that may be submitted to in the interval may be teem red, wh some hold strongly to the opinion that prices will attain a higher elevation than they have yet reached. The trade during the present week, under the influence of fine weather and dull reports from other markets, ham shown a further tendency to decline. Wheat, without being pressed, is saleable only at a decline of ls. to 2s. per qr. ; whereas to make progress in the disposal of Flour, a reduction of Is. per sack has been submitted to. Grind ing Barley, on athount of its comparative scarcity, has com manded full terms, whilst Malt may be written Is. to 2s. dearer from the same cause. Beans and Peas without much change ; but Oats have sold slowly, although offered fr. ely at rather lower rates. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of Wneat from the growers, and from the coast the arrivals are equally so, but from abroad the receipts are to a fair extent—upon all qualities we note a decline of lolly 2s. per qr. ; useful Norfolk red, but rather coarse, and weighing 591ta. per bushel, being only worth 545. per qr., 631b5., whereas 6.55. may be deemed an extreme quotation for Scotch white. The de mand for foreign was chiefly conflued to Danish and such descriptions, which sold at 51s. to 61s. 61., the finer kinds being held beyond the views of our buyers. Our quotati.dis for Flour may be deemed almost nominal, but a concession of Is. to 2s. per sack would lead to business. In Rye little stirring. Grinding Barley in steady request, and fully as dear. Fine pale Malt i• scarce, aid would command some what higher prices. With Oats we were fairly supplied by our growers, for which we experienced a slow sale at rather worse prices ; Scotch and other sorts being similarly affected. The arrivals this week are: Wheat, coastwise, 535 qrs.; foreign, 3,470; Barley, coastwise, 425; foreign, 147; Malt, coastwise, 25; Oau, coastwise, 1,892; Beans, foreign, 40. Flour, 1,530 sacks. Nonveten, Aug. 13 —Our market was fairly supplied with Wheat to-day by the farmers, who required similar prices to last week, but buyers were firm, sad would not operate except at an extensive reduction, and before the close, sellers gave w y to the tune of fully 6s. per qr., and several lots ri manned unsold even at the reduction. A few parcels of new found their way to market, and in very tine condition, for which 50a. per qr. was paid. The crop of Wheat. though small in breadth, is exceedingly well spoken of as regards appearance and probability of yield. Barley trade none. The growing crop will, with favourable weather, be exce:dinty good, both es regards quantity and quality. Beans are a good deal blighted, and present a very poor appearance. Peas a poor crop ; quantity very fair. Nu trade in this article today. Oats were slow sale, at late rail,. The crop is reported as very good, and likely to yield abundantly. Flour a dull sale at Is 61. per tack less money. F.o.b. price, 3.55. 6d. and 365. Little business Pxyzunonovon, Aug. 13.—Fine weather and good sup- plies of Wheat cause Ls to have a slow trade here to day, and prices are again 21. per qr. lower, being a decline of 10s. per qr. from this day three weeks. Spring corn nominally as last week. We have a good deal of Wheat cut. Our farmers expect the autumn sown will yield well and that the weight will be 3 lbs. to 4 lbs. per bushel heavier than last year. READING, Aug. 13.—Reaping having commenced pretty generally in this neighbourhood we bad hut a thin attend. ance at market. The supply of Wheat was large for the season ; buy. rs however were unwilling to purchase unless at a reduction of 35. to 45. per qr. on last week's price,. Several lots remain unsold. There were several lots of new selling from 565. to 63.. per qr. Ouo parcel of new came very bad to head, and made only 38s. Summer corn merely nominal. WISSICR, Aug. 13.—Fine weather, as usual et this sea son, has its effect on the Corn market ; hence a dull trade to-day, and very few buyers of Wheat. Some fine dry new winter Oats have been sold at 191. per qr., weighing 401ba. per bushel. Prices to the growers : Wheat, red, 40s. to 48s. per qr.; white, 455. to 545. Oats, Ned. to lid. per stone. Beans, 38s. to 40s. per qr. WORCESTER, Aug. 13.—At this day's market Wheat sold slowly, at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. per qr. Barley unal tered. Oats rather cheaper. Not much doing in Peas or Beans. A few samples of new Wheat were shown of fair quality, and some of Barley, very fine. YORK, Aug. 13.—We have a moderate show of Wheat, which hos met a fair tale at a decline of 2s. to 3s. per qr• Flour 3s. per sack less money. In other articles no alteration. The following are the present prices: Wheat, white, 52a. to 64.. per qr. imperial ; red, 481. to 60s. ; Malt, 58.. to 60s. ; Oats, lid. to Is. per stone of 141bs. ; Flour, 425. to 445. per sack of 28011)1. KIRKCALDY, Aug. 13.—The weather during the week has been dry, warm, and forcing. Harvest will be earlier by ten days than appearances warranted three weeks ago. Barley is evidently the beat crop on the ground, and if the weather keeps fine, a considerable breadth of it will be ready for cutting by the end of next week. The Wheat crop does not improve in appearance as it draws nearer harvest. At our country markets this week, nothing what ever doing in Wheat, our farmers refusing to submit to any decline in price. Oats same as last week. Hare, to-day. we bad a fair supply of Wheat, and small of Oats, and one parcel of Barley. Wheat sold readily at - 2s. per qr. decline. Oats slowly at 61 per qr. less than last week. Wheat, 60s. to 665. per cr. ; Barley, 341. ; Oats, 21s. to 24e. ; Oatmeal, per bag of 2801 be., 31s. to 325. - - DUBLIN, AUG. 12.—We had an extremely dull market to-dre for all descriptions of old grain, except prime fresh feeding oats, which met • good demand, and fully sup ported the currencies of Tuesday. For other articles our quotations are little more than nominal. The supplies of uew grain begin to increase. Oats were sold to-day at lls. tolls. 6d. for tawny, and at 121. to 13s. for white ; here at 12s. to 12s. 6d. ; and rape at 225. to 25e. White wheat, 265. to 31s. ; red ditto, 255. to 295. 6d. • barley, 13s. to 16e. 6d. ; oats, 10s. 6d. to 13a. 3d.; oatme al, Ils. to 13s. ; bakers' Hour, 14e. to 20s. per cwt. ; Indian corn, 28s. to 31s. per 4801bs. WATBRPOILD, Aug. 13.—The weather this week has been all that could be desired for the growing crops, and, if it continue equally favourable (or ten days more, the Oat har vest wilt be general in this neighbourhood. Our arrivals of foreign grain since Saturday are enly moderate, and our market in consequence has not been so dull as might have been expected after the depressing accounts from Lon don and Liverpool. Wheat has been taken to a fair extent at about the currency of this day se'nnight. For Indian Corn the demand has not been active, pur chasers having bought rather freely last week; prices, how ever, are fully maintained. The delivery of Oats has all bat ceased, and quotations may be considered nominal. A few hundred barrels of Tawny Oats appeared at market this morning, and sold readily at last week's prices. Flour unaltered in value. Imports: Wheat, 2,130 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 2,090. Exports: Oats, 1,099 brls.; Flour, 240 sacks; Oatmeal, 165 cwta.
