From other parts of Russia the ac counts are also favourable, except from the Steppes, or the dry land in the neighbourhood of Odessa, and of the Crimea, and the vast plains to the north of the sea of Azof : there the crop has proved a total failure. The principal stock of wheat arriving was from the ancient Polish provinces, where wet land and a warm summer had proved specially advantageous daring the present season; but it was coming in very slowly, owing to the neglected state of the roads, and then there was a difficulty in shipping it for Western Europe, in consequence of a scarcity of tonnage and of the consequent high freights. Wll FAT, &e., DUTY Pave.—A parliamentary paper was publi , hed on Monday, of 21 folio pages, slowing the opera tion of the act sth and Gth Victoria, c. 92, from the 10th of August, 1842, to the sth of January last. From the sum mary of the accounts given in the return, it appears that the wheat delivered from the warehouse or vessel, duty free. numbered 192,543 quarters and 7 bushels. Of the flour and biscuit deposited, 193,370 cwt. 3 gni 27 lb. were fine wheat flour, 31,937 cwt. 2 qrs. of captain's biscuits, 185,970 cwt. 6 qts. 1 lb. of biscuit of the standard of that supplied to the navy, 376,790 cwt. 3 qrs. 3 lb. of common ship bbcuit, and 11 cwt. 3 qrs. 141 b. of fancy biscuit. Of the flour and biscuit mentioned, only 8,983 cwt. 2 prs. Bth. was retained for home consumption, and the remainder takes out for exportation, either as merchandise or as stores. The quantities remaining in warehouse, or in the course of removal, under bond, from port to port, on the .sth of Januery last, were 14,643 cwt. 2 qrs. 21 lb. of fine wheat flour, 1,228 cwt. 3 qrs. 21 lb. of captains' biscuit, 5,403 cwt. 2 qrs.

THE LATE LORD METCALFE.—The news of Lord Met calfe's death will he received by that lamented nobleman's nu merous friends and admirers in Canada with mingled feelings of grief and satisfaction—of grief fur the loss of one whom they loved and esteemed, and of satisfaction that he is at last relieved from his suffering. His life has, on the whole, been a fortunate, and, we doubt not, a happy one ; successful in all his undertakings; generally honoured, and even revered, wherever he was known ; the feeble voices of the few persona who really thought harshly of him in this country—for in no other bad he any enemies—will be lost in the acclamations of the tens of thousands who blessed his name while living, and who will cherish his memory now that he is dead. Peace be with him ! He has fought the good fight ; he has finished his course; and he, undoubtedly, is now in the enjoyment of the rewards reserved for those who walk humbly before their Maker and do good to their fellow-men. —Montreal Times, Oct. 3.1 DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DUNDAS.—We have received an extra from the Dmilas Warder giving an account of a des atructive fire which occurred in that town on Sunday morn ing, consuming the foundry establishment of J. Oartshore and Co. The fire continued to rage for about two hours. The loss is roughly estimated at from 6,000/. to 7,0001., only 1,000 of which is covered (in the Mutual office) by in surance. The loss to many of tho workmen is also heavy, several chests of tools, varying in value from 101. to 251., being destroyed ; one person lost property to the amount of 123/. The destruction of this establishment will be severely felt ; it has thrown a gloom over all, each man feeling that he sustains a portion of the demurer, and, indeed, this is strictly the fact, so completely identified was the foundry with the prosperity of the town. The books arc all de- stroyed, and upwards of 100 men thrown out of employ ment.—Mmareal Gazette, Oct. 9. DARING HIGHWAY ROIIREIM—One of the boldest acts of highway robbery of which we ever recollect hearing, took place on Thursday afternoon, at the Cott": St. Catherine. Mr. Evans, a gentleman of this city, in company with a lady, was returning from a drive round the Mountain, when sud denly two men rushed across the road, and seized the horse's reins. Both were armed with pistols, and one of them re mained standing at the horse's head, while the other ad vanced to the vehicle, and, presenting his pistol, demanded money. Mr. Evans thought to deter the man from his pur pose, and told him he was in a great hurry. But the request was reiterated,with a threat of taking life. Mr. Evans said he had no money, upon which the fellow at the horse's head called to the ruffian, " shoot him." Things were now get ting serious. The lady was screaming with terror, and Mr. Evans thought it would be well to purchase compliance by giving them all the money he had, viz., a four dollar bill and a trente sous : he had also a penknife in his pocket, which he handed over with the money. Instead, however, of being satisfied, the robbers demanded his watch ; but Mr. Evans refused to comply. He seized the pistol and pushed it on one side, and it went off just behind the gig. He then jumped off and collared the ruffian, upon which the man at the horse's head ran towards him, and fired his pistol directly across Mr. Evans's face, but failed to injure him. Ile then seized a stone and struck Mr. Evans on the back of the head, giving him a severe cut ; and on the men observing a person standing by the horse's head, they made off. Every effort is being made to discover the scoundrels, and it is to be hoped that the police will suc ceed in taking them into custody. Two individue's answer ing their description were seen by two gentl:men who were riding round the mountain about the same hour. They ap peared to be concealing themselves in the wood. The men were evidently Irishmen, and spoke with a strong brogue. Monereol Times, Oct. 9. Tux WEATUER.—The first frost at Quebec this season o mrred on the 3rd inst. Yesterday morning there was ice t standing water about an eighth of an inch in thickness. Vegetation is now checked for its months to come at lend. It is stated, that since the rains the potatoes not t'.ken up are attacked by the rot; it is also said, that it has appealed among those in cellars and root houses.—Quebec Gazette, Oct. 5. GOOD NEWS roll ENGLAND.—One of the Montreal' papers says: "Mr. Creickshrolc.s, who came out in the Cambria, is said not to be the well-know,[ eiricaturist." THE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC TELEORAPIL—IC hag been in contemplation to connect Montreal with the seaboard, by means of an electric telegraph, to be carried across the St. Lawrence, and from thence to Whitehall on Lake Cham plain, from which place it would be extended to Saratoga, t a unite with the line already in operation there, communicat ing with the Atlantic cities of the United States. It has also been proposed to connect Montreal with Quebec and Halifax byel:ctro-magnetic telegraph, so es to insure the earliest information, on the arrival of the mail steamers at Halifax, from England. It has further been suggested to unite Kingston and Oswego, by electromagnetic telegraph, the line being already in successful operation between the latter place and New York; and moreover, that Hamilton, Toronto, Kingston, and Montreal, should be united by a line passing along the Lake-shore and the St. Lawrence-road.

Waghorn's courier reached town at an early hour this morning, from Alexandria rim Trieste, with dispatches for the government and the East India Company. The accounts from India by this convey ance are no later than those published by us yes terday. which were received at Marseilles by the Peninsula and Oriental Company's steamer Ariel, and thence transmitted by special express. The ordinary Overland Mail, via Marseilles, cannot be expected before Monday night. Though ministers do not consider that the present state of Portugal justifies any intervention on the part of this country, some measures of precaution are deemed absolutely necessary for the protection of British interests in that country. It is understood that our naval force at present in the Tagus will be immediately augmented, and that a special commissioner, Colonel Wylde, will proceed to Portugal without delay for the purpose of supplying government with authentic information as to the state of political parties and the condition of the dis turbed districts. According to the Paris ministerial journals, the counter revolution in Portugal is disap proved of by the French government ; and accounts from Madrid inform us that the Spanish intervention is not to extend beyond the movement of some troops upon the frontier. According to a letter from Mr. Brooke, dated the 31ht of August last, the state of affairs in Borneo was more satisfactory. Subsequent to the late attack of the fleet under Sir Thomas Cochrane at Borneo Proper, the Sultan returned to Brum% from whence he has addressed a letter to her Majesty, craving pardon for the past, and containing many assurances of future good behaviour. This information has been com municated to the East India and China Association of London by - Mr. H. Wise, agent to Mr. Brooke, who adds," The Sultan has also ratified all his former en gllS'ements, so that on Sir T. Cochrane's taking pos session of Labuan, in conformity with the instruc tions fo - warded to him by direction of Lord Palmer ston per Overland mail of July leo . her Majesty's government have now no obstacle whatever to render any further delay in forming a Btif.:l settlement on thit important island requisite." Among those most interested in the Indigo trade a question has been under discussion as to a more con venient mode of conducting the periodical sales at which this ding is brought forward, the complaint being that large quantities of second-hand goods are put up with the article newly imported. In conse quence of this arrangement the sale is frequently so large that the time permitted for inspection is not sufficient to allow of a proncr examination of the goods in the catalogues. To remedy the evil complained of a committee of gentlemen was appointed, who, under the presidency of Sir George Las-pent, have agreed to the following regulaticeis, which have been adopted by the trade : "1. That it is not expedient at present to make any ahem. ton in the prit.riple of four sales of indigo in the year, and that the present meeting pledge themselves to uphold the mime, " 2. That a committee, consisting of Sir George Larpent, Bart , u chairman, two other importers, two export mer c..innti, two duller., and four Lroker, be appointed to de nse the but mato of arrangement for the four sales recom- COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS. MONEY MARKET A: CITY INTELLIGENCE. The Bank of England averages for the week ending the 24th instant, show the following differences as compared with the returns for the week preceding.

The Pature in these returns, on which attention will' naturally be most fixed, is the continued outflow of bullion. The Bank bad entered considerably into the second million of lost treasure in hard money, at the date of these returns. The continuous direction of the stream outwards, for several suc cessive weeks is, however, the fact which will excite most surprise, fur uneasiness is out of the question, seeing that the Bank remained so well provided still. In the meantime, as public and other deposits were withdrawn, and coin and bullion departing, the Bank was diminishing its stock of securities, and not only curbing the tendency of note circu lalion to expansion, but diminishing its amount. Tiro o' . After the regular hour of business yesterday a reaction commenced in the Funds, and the prices of Consols rose 1 per cent. upon the quotation s of the official list, which represents business done only, and the last prices current at three o'clock, when +he Stock Exchange legally closes, as it may be said. This morning the improvement has not on'y been maintained, hut carried further, with an active market. Consols are now 941 to t. for money, and 941 to I, for time. Exchequer Bills, Bs. to 124 premium.

At this day's mar ket the millers, who are now tolerably well in stock, appeared almost unanimously determined to remain on the reserve ; the Wheat trade altogether was consequently languid in the ex tr eme,and had tales be m feasible beyond a very hmited amount, many holden would hav4 accepted easier terms. Irish Flour. upon a short supply, was unaltered in value ; but States and Canadian, being more difficult of sale than usual, all descrip tions of this article, both free and in bond, receded Is. per barrel below our last quotations. Malting Barley and Malt would readily bring nine`i higher rates, but having little or none of prime quality remaining here, DO certain prices for the moment can be formed. Grinding Barley, Beans, and Peas, attended by occasional sales, fully sustained our last currency. Oats and Oatmeal, meeting very little notice this morning, were the turn cheaper. Indian Corn would be taken freely for Ireland, there being several orders thence, which in the absence of supply cannot be executed for the present, although if practicable somewhat higher prices might be obtained. NEWARK, OCT. 28.—Wheat, white, 61s. to 679. ; red, 635. to Ms. ; old white, 625. to 665. ; old red, 50s. to 555.; Barley, malting, 455. to 51s. ; grinding; 365. to 375. ; Oats, old, 28s. to 345.; new, 255. to 28s. ; Beans, 48s. to 525.; Peas, grey, 42e. to 465. ; Malt, 645. to 683. ; Tares 465. to 50s ; Rye , 328. to 368. per quarter. We have had a brisk market at late prices for Wheat. Other grain Is. to 2s. per quarter higher.

We had a good supply at tais day's market, and Wheat and Oats well bought up. In Barley not many transactions. Bean' steady in price. ROVITON, OCT. 28.—A liberal supply of Wheat and Barley. The former sold at last week's price, the latter 2s. dearer, but maltsters hough' eautiouQlr. Wheat, 33e. to 425. per load; Barley, 425. to 525. ; Oats, 225. to 30.=. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 30.—The supply of 'Wheat much larger, and sales brisk. Best English Wheat for seed was 2s. per quarter dearer; good dry grinding ditto was also full Is. per quarter higher. Inferior samples about the same as last week. Foreign did not meet with so ready a sole as the English grown, though prices were no lower. Barley, of price quality, but few samples in the market: price was full 2s. above last week's. Malt, selling as high as from 465. up to 50s. per quarter ; good weighty grinding at from 40s. to 41s. per quarter; light samples at from 365. to 40s. per quarter. Oats were much in request at an advance of Is. per quarter, excepting inferior, which may be quoted at a stand still. Beans and grey and white leas as last week. Tnres 6s. per bushel. 'lndian Corn offered at a reduction of .11. per sack. Flour is selling here at from 4.55. to 475. per sack. UXBRIDGE, OCT . 29.—Wheat, 141. to 201. per load of five quarters ; Beans, 36a . to 4 81. per quarter ; Peas, 375. to 415.; Barley, 28s. to 36s Oats, 21s. to 329.; Rye, 325. to 3.38.; Tares, s. per bushel. Flour, white, 60a. per sack ; household, 555. ; seconds, 50s. The Wheat market was but a thin one to-day, and the qm.lity being rough it did not make quite so much money as last Thursday. Every other kind of grain remains as last quoted, except Barley, which for malting purposes was mostly dearer, and not prime either. WAKEFIELD, Orr. 30.—Our arrival of Wheat this eek is moderate, the trade continues very firm at the prices of this day sennight, but the business passing is not eaten hive. Barley is ls. to 2.. per quarter dearer. but the advance causes quite a retail trade. Oats and Shelling bring our ex treme quotations. Beans are the turn higher. No altera tion in other articles. RAILWAYS. The dealers have been occupied chiefly with the conclusion of "the settlement, and the usual routine of pay day. There has been a fair market, however, for shares and serips on the whole. A parcel of North British were bought in against a party non-delivering at the Stock Exchange, and lis. premium had to be given. The market price, however, cannot he called more than 10} to 11 ; Caledonian were rather better. A considerable business has been doing in East Indian scrip, at prices varying from 10s. to ISt. 3d.

THE Ga:rtte of last night announces the proroga tion of Parliament to the middle of January. Thus, one of the questions, which occupied the consideration of the Cabinet, has been decided. It has not been judged prudent to call Parliament prema turely together, in order to sanction extraordi nary measures for the alleviation of either Irish famine or English scarcity. Government does not stand in need of any fresh supply of wis dom or experience to grapple with these evils. Neither does it want the courage to apply the remedy, provided the existence and gravity, as well as the continuance of those evils be proved and shown beyond a question, and provided that those most interested and implicated in the removal of the pressure make, of themselvt , s, fair efforts to shako it off. As to parliament meeting in order to indulge itself and the country in another corn-law discussion, no one could have dreamed of so gratuitous au infliction. It requires something more than arguments about free- • trade, or speculative theories of any kind, to warrant the breaking up of a settlement so lately made. Facts, urgency, necessity—a manifest prevention of evil, can alone do that. And of this urgency ministers must be fax better judges than Parliament, to which they might look for indemnity or for support, but nothing else. Neither risk nor party difficulties, how ever, are likely to deter ministers from pur suing the course which duty points out, in the present trying circumstances of tho country. It would be unfair to expect or demand, that they should lay hold of distress, es a pretext for getting rid of a law which they always disapproved. To play with parliamentary decisions in this way would be unwarrantable. But should the circumstances of the country demand it, the ministry, we have no doubt, will be found equal to meet them. Irish distress is, however, a much more complicated question than even English scarcity, and one which, for this reason, might require the early and anxious consideration of parliament. No doubt, too, that every regard and every attention, in seeming as well as in reality, is due to the suffering Irish. But unfortunately it might bo found, that whilst parlia ment had congregated to . devise plans of relief, those who should have improvised and practised such plans upon the spot, would have paused and flung off the certainly onerous task, and coolly transferred to par liament those duties which they should have per formed themselves. This is not to bo tolerat..d. It is an imperative duty to lend a hand to a settering and fellow way farer. But if one is obliged to take him altogether, and catty him upon one's lark, whilst he makes no exertion for himself, the probable result might be that the strong would fail as well as the weak, and both drop together into misery and inanition. We are not surprised, therefore, to learn, that the reasons drawn from the state of Ireland for calling Parliament prematurely together, have failed to con vince the Cabinet. With respect to the other ques tion, trial Of opening the ports, it is a measure fully within ministerial competency to decide. The prorogation of Parliament is, therefore, no de cision of that important question. Nor does the non-appearance of what was expected by some, an order, simultaneous with the prorogation, for opening the ports, imply either that the question is decided. Even were its expediency much more fully proved than it is, there would be Foinething indecorous in proroguing Parliament in the very same breath pith the assumption of extraordinary powers. Tho legislating by ordonnance, whilst discarding and adjourning the legislature, might be taxed as arbitrary and unfair. We can, however, only form conjectures as to the reasons which weighed upon Ministers. They may have been influenced by other considerations. To open the ports at the moment that corn had reached its toiaximtt»t price, and was tending to decline of itself, would not be warranted. And some assert that such is the present situation. We are of a very con trary belief, and feel confident that a few weeks can not elapse without making more manifest and more imperative to the country and to the government, the necessity for getting rid of the four-shilling duty. Is our columns of Wednesday the 14th inst., occurred the report of a case connected sl,lth a henyit society, as it is called, which ended, as so many of these cases do, in a wrong without redress as sought. Mr. WAKELING, a solicitor, who appeared for a poor woman without a fee, because he considered that the case was one of oppression, stated to the magis trate at Clerkenwell that this poor woman had been refused 12!., due to her as the widow of a subscriber, first, with an assertion that there were no funds, though an advertisement of recent date, a trap for more subscribers, set forth that the society was flourishing; and afterwards on a pretext of some in formality. The party refusing was the treasurer of the society, the landlady of a public-house. The magistrate could not interfere, because the society, which was regularly enrolled, had a clause in its laws enacting that all disputes should be referred to arbitration. _ It would seem as if, in this case, the law which was meant to secure to the poor an easy mode of re covering their rights, acted as a barrier to even as much as the necessity of hearing what the parties accused of fraud had to say, in answer to a strong prima' facie case against them. By 4 and 5 Will. 4, cap. 40, the society must appoint arbitrators, :and on their refusal, any two justices may determine the cause. There is then a remedy : bat in law as in physic, when remedies aro often necessary, there is something wrong in the system, which will end in its destruction, unless effi cient aid be afforded to remove the primary cause of the disorder. The benefit societies call loudly for the attention of the legislature : the cases of hardship, of fraud, and of ignorant misunderstanding of the true intent of such unions, arc becoming so frequent, that no one who knows the vast importance of their existence will hesitate to aid us in pressing the sub ject upon the consideration of members of the Legis lature, at this favourable moment, when party move ment at least, if not party feeling, is in vacation. We say that a radical change is necessary: and meaning to return to the subject, we shall endeavour to bring the public round to our opinion by easy stages. We say that this change is necessary, even though there had never been a single case of oppres sion or fraud. We will make the opponents of tho change, if there be any, a present of all such cases; and we will forbear to put them in as proofs of the policy of such a change, reserving them only to show the urgency of a speedy settlement. We may stand well, if we can rest our feet upon a basis which already stands well. The savings banks exist in safety and honour ; the benefit society has a All the yeir delivering .

COVENT-GARDEN. 77,is morning.—Fruit and Vegetables are sufficient for the demand, which is far from being great. Pine Apples of excellent quality are plentiful, and the same may be said of Grapes, both English and foreign. Apples and Pears have not altered in price since our last report. Oranges are scarce. Nuts are sufficient for the demand. English Walnuts are scarce; but foreign ones are plentiful, and very good in quality. There is little demand for Filberts . Lemons are scarce, and so are good English Melons. Of Vegetables, Cabbages, Cauliflowers, &e., are good, and the latter tole rably plentiful. Carrots and Turnips have altered but little in price. Peas have lately been pretty plentiful, and have been selling as low as 2s. a peck. Beans remain nearly the same as last week. Celery is good in quality. Good Potatoes are scarce, the greater part being affected by the prevailing disease. e Lettuces and other Saladinge arc good and plen tiful. Considerable quantities of Horse-radish are weekly imported from Hamburgh; the samples are good lookimr, but said to inferior is quality to those of English growth.
